Claim 12:
13. A vehicle steering system comprising:
a linkage between front axle road wheels and an angle overlay actuator, the linkage comprising a steering rack with associated tie rods connected via a pinion to the angle overlay actuator, a column axle, a feedback torque actuator comprising an assistance motor and an ECU for giving feedback to a driver, a steering wheel to which a driver applied driver torque, To, is applied and a torsion bar with a torsion-bar torque sensor,
wherein said feedback torque actuator is arranged above said angle overlay actuator, and in that said feedback torque actuator is adapted to be controlled in such a way that a target feedback torque is achieved and whereby a target steering feel is achieved, wherein the feedback torque actuator comprises an electric power assisted steering.
