The aftermarket has taken some shortcuts when it comes to performance with power steering coolers. Our very own in house technician, Jon, talks through what makes Edelmann Elite coolers a better alternative to products available currently.
Plews & Edelmann is at it again with the launch of the all new, OE spec power steering cooler line. Made on acquired Tier 1 equipment, these coolers are the closest thing to OE in the aftermarket. Simply put, they are the exact OE Replacement.
Power steering coolers are designed by the OE manufacturer to perform a specific job that differsfrom vehicle to vehicle. These vehicle specific tolerances are what makes it so important toreplace the power steering cooler with as close to an OE match as possible. The all-newEdelmann Elite™ coolers are designed and built to the genuine OE specifications to ensureperformance with exact form, fit, and function to that of the OE unit being replaced.
All Edelmann Elite hard parts come with a test report in the box. But, just what does that test report convey to the installer and end user?Check out this training to see a deeper dive into all the testing and test report information that is done on all Edelmann Elite racks, pumps, and gears.

Power steering component failures are typically due to the accumulation of particulates within the fluid. Therefore, as part of any power steering service or repair, flushing the fluid is an important step to remove the damage causing particulates circulating through the fluid. Without flushing and changing the fluid, the system is susceptible to the same failures the prompted service in the first place.

Edelmann® introduces a new line of aftermarket turbocharger oil lines for the increasing number of turbocharged vehicles in North America. The lines provide coverage to over 34 million vehicles in a broad range of applications from heavy duty trucks to small compacts. Each application specific part includes the necessary hardware for a complete solution. The line-ups incorporate that same quality and philosophy of OEM Form, Fit & Function™ customers have come to expect from Edelmann products.
Similar to the engines they are bolted to, turbochargers have internal parts moving atextremely high speeds and therefore require lubrication. Turbocharger oil lines providelubrication and cooling to the turbocharger from the same oil reservoir as the motor. Forthis reason, it is incredibly important to ensure that the lines are not clogged oraccumulating burnt bits of oil that could contaminate the engine lubricating system. Thisclogging and build up is the most common reason for the need to replace these lines.
As power steering moves from hydraulically powered systems to electronic, Plews & Edelmann continues to deliver on its promise of being the Total Solution in power steering. We are already producing new repair solutions for belt-driven electric rack and pinion where the only option previously has been a full replacement. And this is just the beginning.
Replacing an electric rack and pinion can be a costly, and sometimes, unavailable option! Before you do, determine if a belt replacement is an option and save $$$'s on the repair bill over a full replacement. BONUS: this doesn't even require a reflash of the PCM, and can be done with simple hand tools!
See just how easy it is to both inspect and replace the drive belt inside an electric rack and pinion.
