Power Steering

The rack and pinion steering gear that is used with the electronic power assist steering (EPAS) system is a manual (non-hydraulic) steering gear that is contained within a one-piece die cast aluminum housing. The power assist is provided by a 12-volt, 85 amp brushless motor, mounted to the steering column. The steering column and motor/module are serviced as an assembly. See STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  . A new steering gear includes inner tie rods, however, the inner and outer tie rods can also be serviced separately. See TIE ROD END - INNER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  or TIE ROD END - OUTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  .
