Edelmann electric power steering repair
A repair revolution
Electric power steering is quickly becoming the standard for vehicles being produced today. As with any new technology, failures are difficult to predict and repair when they happen.
The problem
Belt-driven rack and pinion
Inside most electric racks is a rubber belt connecting the electric assist motor to the steering gear. When this belt wears out or breaks, steering reverts to difficult manual mode. The only fix has been complete rack replacement.
The fix
Repair options now available
By enabling repair for a common failure point, the Edelmann EPS kit eliminates the need for expensive rack replacements when only a belt is worn. Our kits replace the original drive belts, to save time and money.
-
Simple Installation
Belts can easily be replaced using commonly available tools. Repairs can be completed in virtually the same amount of time it would take to pull out and reinstall a new rack.
-
No Module Re-flash
Because the same motor and module are reinstalled after the installation of the belts, there is no re-flash required for the vehicle to recognize the rack.
-
OE-Quality Components
We use the same or better quality for all the components included with the kits, from the belt all the way to the gaskets and seals.
Before replacing
Diagnose the rack first
There are 3 major reasons for failure of an electric power steering rack and pinion. Diagnose the issue before replacing the entire unit to see if repair is an option to save thousands.

EPS torque sensors
The torque sensor is one of the most critical components in an electric power steering system. Mounted along the steering shaft and spanning a small torsion bar, it continuously measures how much force you are applying to the steering wheel and in which direction, feeding that data to the EPS control module to deliver precise, responsive assist. When a torque sensor fails, drivers often experience uneven steering effort, an intermittent EPS warning light, or a complete loss of power assist. Plews & Edelmann® now offers direct OEM-replacement torque sensors as a cost-effective, targeted fix that avoids unnecessary full rack replacement. Built to the latest OEM design standards, each sensor includes all required mounting hardware, accurate alignment marks, and where applicable, installation tools, backed by U.S.-based A.S.E. Certified Technical Support.
