EPAS Steering Gear

The EPAS gear is an assembly consisting of a PSCM, a motor, a steering shaft torque sensor and EPAS gear isolators, all of which are serviced as an assembly. The inner and outer tie rods and the gear bellows boots are available separately for service.

• The steering shaft torque sensor is mounted near the input shaft of the EPAS gear and provides the PSCM with how much force is being used to turn the steering wheel.
• The EPAS gear has one inner tie rod located at each end of the gear assembly and is available separately for service.
• The EPAS gear has one outer tie rod located at each end of the gear assembly and is available separately for service.
• The EPAS gear has one convoluted rubber bellows boot located at each side of the EPAS gear assembly. A rubber sealing strap is located between each boot and the housing. Each boot is held in place with 2 boot clamps. A bellows boot kit is available for service and includes a rubber sealing strap, the bellows boot and 2 boot clamps.
• The EPAS gear has isolators located at each attachment point of the gear. These isolators (2 rubber and 1 steel) aid in the reduction of NVH concerns and are not  available separately for service.
