Our power steering conversions work by integrating EPS (electronic power steering) motors in to the steering column. An integrated torque sensor detects the movement of the steering wheel and provides instantaneous assistance when required.

They are fully electric and require no hydraulic fluid. They also require no maintenance.

In most applications the motor is hidden behind the steering column out of view.

Compared to a traditional hydraulic rack, belt and pump system, there are several benefits:

• Weighs less

• No maintenance required

• Completely silent operation

• No loss of horsepower

• Works even without the engine running

• Fully adjustable steering feel

We will take a deposit at the same time as payment, which will be promptly returned to you once we receive the parts back.

Our EPS motors are fully adjustable which means that users can set the amount of power assistance they would like (i.e a heavy or light feel). So it can be suited to particular taste or particular driving conditions. This can be done via a dash-mounted knob, which is provided in all of our kits. Some users prefer to turn the assistance to maximum and not install the knob, which is completely fine also.

Yes, having an EPS (electronic power steering) motor integrated in to the vehicles original steering column is just like having someone very strong turn the wheel for you at all times, which vehicles are well able to cope with.
