Was your HDT Commodore a VL ??  I love the VL's power steering, especially
when compared to the XC Fairmont GXL 5.8l V8 I had immediately beforehand
(and sold when petrol got to 53 cents per litre!).  The Ford's trick
suspension handled OK, but what's the point when the steering is so
spongy?).  

I could be wrong (and I'm not about to go downstairs and crawl under my car
to check) but I think the VLs used rack and pinion steering, which possibly
explains the excellent handling and response from the steering wheel.
