Plews & Edelmann has introduced the Edelmann Electric Steering Rack and Pinion Drive Belt Replacement Kit. The company said these solutions fill a void where previously no service options existed outside of full rack replacement. Now, technicians and DIYers have a cost-effective, mechanical fix for worn or failed EPS drive belts, the company said.
The complete replacement cost of modern electric racks has left drivers facing steep repair bills, made worse by low availability of replacement parts in some circumstances. The Edelmann belt kit offers affordable repairs without needing to source a new rack, according to the company.
Each kit contains a new belt manufactured to OE specifications along with all necessary components to complete the service. OE fit, form and function is ensured across seals, clamps and parts. With parts included for a complete fix, technicians can avoid relying on hard-to-find parts that may be unavailable. The repair can be performed with commonly available tools, and no reprogramming is necessary with this type of repair, Plews & Edelman said.
“By introducing the EPS belt repair option, we’ve filled a huge void in serviceability for these systems,” said Evan Bauer, director of category management at Plews & Edelmann. “Our kit empowers repairs that simply weren’t possible before. And it provides a critical service option when replacement racks are scarce.”
The Edelmann Electric Steering Rack and Pinion Drive Belt Replacement Kits cover a wide range of late-model domestic and import applications. The kits are also backed by over 70 years of steering system expertise, the company said.
