Our EZ Electric power steering kits are designed specifically for your car make and model. It has several advantages, including:

• The kit is completely hidden under the dashboard.
• The existing steering rack or box remains unchanged and thus retains the standard steering ratio and adjustment.
• Because the electric power steering is really speed sensitive, it will steer lightly at low speeds and not lightly at high speeds.
• The electric motor uses power only when steering assistance is needed, while a hydraulic pump operates continuously when the engine is running.
• The EZ electric power steering works without making any noise.

The EZ electric power steering kit cannot leak, making it completely maintenance free!

In this case, it is necessary to first find out whether the fault is mechanical or electrical.
This can be checked relatively easily by removing the electric power steering fuse. This ensures that the system is switched off. As a result, the car will have to drive the same as before the installation of the EZ steering column.

If you still have the same complaints during this test drive, then the fault is mechanical in nature and the steering column installation should be checked again. Is the alignment of the steering column itself in order and are no parts mounted under tension (see installation manual)

If it turns out that it is not a mechanical failure then it is important to collect as much data (measurements) as possible. To do so, use the measurement form in our troubleshooting guide.

These details are also important when you contact EZ, with these details we can find out in a relatively short time what is causing the breakdown and be able to offer you an appropriate solution.

EZ Powersteering produces over 200 different powersteering kits that are all tailormade for various classic cars. Our goal is always to design these kits with the utmost respect for originality. In some cases the available space around the upper steering column is extremely limited and we have to find a powersteering unit that is compact enough to be used so that it can be fitted out of sight, usually under the dashboard. The length and the shape of the unit and its power output determines if it can be used for certain types of classic car applications or not.

Over the last 15 years we have used more than 22 types of electric Powersteering units, mainly from the Japanese manufacturers Koyo/JTEKT and NSK. In some cases the Powersteering units have gone out of production. When they are no longer available new and we need to produce kits designed with these components, we buy used units and overhaul these ourselves (This is not that different from the new units we purchase, which we also disassemble to make the torsion rod suitable for our application, simultaneously reducing the internal friction to provide better self-centering and better steering feel).

This means that in a few cases, overhauled powersteering units are used to produce some of the kits we sell, since there are no new units available with similar specifications. If at a later date a powersteering unit comes into production that has similar dimensions and performance to the component previously used, the powersteering kit for a certain car may be redesigned to be able to use the new type.

Our standard guarantee remains valid in all instances and spare parts can always be supplied for a minimum period of 10 years after purchase.
