USEFUL INFORMATION
Why steering systems often fail: ■ Hose residue in the system – power steering hoses deteriorate from the inside out, this causes rubber residue which may block the Power Steering System. To resolve, the system would need to be replaced every five years. ■ A faulty steering pump – metal debris from the steering pump can cause damage to the seals, scoring to the internals of the steering pump and rack.
All of our Electric Power Steering (EPS) racks are plug and play – a term that describes the simplicity that we bring to problem installations and in 95% of occasions, eliminates the need for programming of the remanufactured EPS product supplied.
The main reasons for flushing the system on all power steering systems is that the fluid becomes contaminated during regular use, and the contamination will cause premature failure of hydraulic seals under pressure.

Now you’ve got your new rack or pump, you need to remove any fault codes caused by the previously failed EPS product, that may be embedded or stored in the vehicle ECU.
As you’re fitting a new system – you’ll need new fluid to flush out the old, stock up via Omnipart!
A calibration needs to be performed during installation every time a replacement product is fitted. Failure to do this can cause premature failure of your EPS remanufactured product.
Now you’ve got your new rack or pump and plenty of new fluid you are ready to make a start… You must completely flush the system before fitting the NEW Rack or Pump This is VERY important so that the system does not fail from the start – i.e. the old fluid damaging seals.
By following the installation guide provided you will extend the life span of your power steering products.
