Plews & Edelmann release EPS repair product line
Plews & Edelmann has released a complete Electric Power Steering (EPS) repair category including EPS drive belt kits, torque sensor replacements, couplings, and proprietary service tools. This product line aims to eliminate the need for full rack replacement on modern vehicles, and promote cost savings while restoring full power steering assist using common hand tools.
Edelmann EPS Drive Belt Kits include a replacement drive belt, belt housing gasket, O-rings, inner and outer boot clamps, additional seals as needed, and rack-specific video installation instructions. No module reflash is required, no realignment, and no specialized diagnostic equipment.
Plews & Edelmann has further expanded the EPS repair category with Edelmann Torque Sensor Replacements. Part 9704 covers some Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles, while part 9705 covers some Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Aura applications. Both feature OEM-replacement design with mounting hardware and alignment marks, backed by U.S.-based ASE certified technical support.
In addition to the Torque Sensor Replacements and Drive Belt Kits, Edelmann has developed proprietary Chamfer Ring Removal Tools designed for electric rack and pinion systems, ensuring safe, efficient belt replacement on the highest-volume applications.
Edelmann EPS Drive Belt Kits and replacement components are part of the Plews & Edelmann broader Total Solution strategy. This is the philosophy that a complete power steering repair addresses every component in the system: pump, rack, hoses, cooler, filter, and fluid.
A word from Plews & Edelmann
“The industry treated EPS failure as a rack problem,” said Dan Billie, CEO of Plews & Edelmann. “While others claim repair innovations, we looked at the root cause and realized, in many cases, it was a belt problem. That’s a fundamentally different repair — and it means professional technicians and DIYers now have a cost-effective option where one simply didn’t exist before.”
“By developing a purpose-built repair solution for EPS systems, we’re giving technicians the ability to service a category that was previously replace-only,” said Anthony Holguin, Director of Category Management at Plews & Edelmann. “These products provide opportunity and convenience by turning a $1,000-plus replacement into a repair that can be completed the same day with tools already in the shop. Plus, part stores can rely on a much smaller inventory footprint than stocking several different racks to achieve the same end."
