Coolers

Competitive Advantage

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.

PDF

Product Bulletin: Coolers

Power steering coolers are designed by the OE manufacturer to perform a specific job that differs from vehicle to vehicle. These vehicle specific tolerances are what makes it so important to replace the power steering cooler with as close to an OE match as possible. The all-new Edelmann Elite® coolers are designed and built to the genuine OE specifications to ensure performance with exact form, fit, and function to that of the OE unit being replaced.

Hard Parts

Testing

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.

Something New

Plews & Edelmann turns the page to a new chapter in power steering. Two new product announcements and more to come in a series of videos on the topic of power steering.

Confidence Drives Success

The age, integrity and quality of core being built today isn't the same as new. The current aftermarket is perceived as ineffective at producing quality power steering parts. NEW Edelmann Elite Hard Parts exceed the aftermarket in quality and reducing warranty issues.

Designed Better From the Start

We own our tooling. As a result, we have eliminated known O.E. design flaws and ensure the highest quality hard parts available.

Engineered and Patented Quality

30% of filters are returned due to fitment issues. Our filter doesn't have that problem. With 99% fitment, our filter is virtually universal. Filters are essential for the prolonged life of power steering, so use one that comes with the same 100 year/1,000,000 mile warranty as the hoses and hard parts.

Are You Happy With the Quality?

"We supply confidence!" The issues that plague the reman power steering aftermarket are mounting. Cores are deteriorating and the amount of new cores available is declining. Edelmann Elite offers a solution that goes far beyond anything reman can produce.

Elite Continued Improvements

Edelmann Elite brings excitement back to an inherently "unexciting" category. With the introduction of high performance power steering hoses to an all in one filter, we are redefining the power steering aftermarket.

Built to Demand

We don't use confusing statements about our coverage. We have targeted the top 90% of demand in North America. And if we don't have it and you can't find it, we'll make it. That's the benefit of owning our own tooling and building everything 100% new!

The Power of Profitability

The true profit of your reman power steering program is probably not what you think it is, or what it should be... With Edelmann Elite, we have nothing to hide.

Product Bulletin: Testing

Plews & Edelmann is delivering on a promise to produce the highest quality power steering system components to the aftermarket. But it isn't good enough for us to just say we are going to, we want to show it. As a result, we are being fully transparent with our line of NEW Racks, Pumps, and Gears by including a 100% test report in the packaging of every part, every single time. To see exactly what we test and what we show on our test reports, check out our Testing video above as we dive into the specifics of each part type.

Focusing extensively on your demand, the Edelmann Elite® hard parts program is bringing something no one else is currently offering - the parts.

PDF

Product Bulletin: Pump Numbers

The power steering aftermarket has increased the focus on making repairs faster and easier for both the professional technician and DIY’ers. Many of our pumps now come with additional components already attached to make it easier - and in some cases safer - to make the repair. With Edelmann Elite® Pumps, we considered this at every level. That is why even our part numbers are considered in the process.

PDF

Product Bulletin: Internal Venting

Older rack and pinion assemblies are traditionally equipped with venting tubes that run externally along the length of the part. Internal venting removes the risk of damage and increases the life of the repair while decreasing the likelihood of a warranty failure.

Hoses

Edelmann Elite

Edelmann Elite® ushers in a new era with the introduction of the market’s first premium power steering hose line. By utilizing an enhanced rubber formulation and advanced engineering techniques, the line is designed to excel in extreme temperatures from polar vortex colds to record-breaking heatwaves. Created from the most demanded 100 hoses, Edelmann Elite provides coverage to over 130 million vehicles in operation. Each hose incorporates the same philosophy of OEM Form, Fit & Function® customers have come to expect from Edelmann products while offering never before seen extreme temperature performance in power steering.

Under hood and external environments have a significant impact on the performance and eventual degradation of power steering hoses. Edelmann Elite power steering hoses consider all the elements and are positioned to be the premier high performance power steering hose in the automotive aftermarket.

Product Bulletin: Hose Check

Power steering hoses should be inspected regularly. Deterioration in the power steering hoses could lead to other component damage or even serious power steering failure.

Filter

30% of filters are returned due to fitment issues. Our filter doesn't have that problem. With 99% fitment, our filter is virtually universal. Filters are essential for the prolonged life of power steering, so use one that comes with the same 100 year/1,000,000 mile warranty as the hoses and hard parts.

PDF

Product Bulletin: Filter

The simple addition of a power steering filter can prolong the life of both an existing power steering system or protect a newly repaired system from premature failures and warranty issues.

Fluid

Fluid Flush

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 that prompted service in the first place.

Product Bulletin: Fluid

Utilizing the right power steering fluid for your vehicle is crucial. Most manufacturers offer a specific type of fluid that is designed for their specific power steering system and mixing fluids can cause damage to seals and components. The Edelmann Elite® Universal Full Synthetic Fluid covers most manufacturer requirements with just one product.

Turbocharger Oil Lines

Turbo Oil Lines

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 29 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.

PDF

Product Bulletin: Turbo Oil Lines

Similar to the engines they are bolted to, turbochargers have internal parts moving at extremely high speeds and therefore require lubrication. Turbocharger oil lines provide lubrication and cooling to the turbocharger from the same oil reservoir as the motor. For this reason, it is incredibly important to ensure that the lines are not clogged or accumulating burnt bits of oil that could contaminate the engine lubricating system. This clogging and build up is the most common reason for the need to replace these lines.

Electric Power Steering

Repair Revolution

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.

Diagnosis

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!
