Re: Re: Electric Power Steering on a Traction

So installed the system is pretty simple… if you know how. And this is the biggest problem with the instructions provided. The photos are too small, dark and try to orientate them was difficult.

First I installed the steering rack…. bad idea. Best to fits the steering column first (loosely) and then fit the steering rack onto the bottom of the steering column. There is more room to manoeuvre and wiggle it in place.

Bolt it all up, remembering to put in place the rubber seals and anything else that is round and should be fitted as once these two are bolted together there is no way you can get them off again, without a few hours spare.

Make sure you lubricate the outer steering column so the rubber sheath at the base of the shaft can slide up a down as you need the outer shaft to push down out of the way while you bolt the motor system on.

Then attach the motor side of the shaft onto the bottom half. Pull up the outer shaft to meat and bolt in place.
