09 T4 electric power steering

[Miguelrmrz]

I just wanted to show you guys my finished electric power steering cost me about $150 to complete and maybe like 12 hrs counting time expend at junk yard,( to pick up a 03 saturn ion e. Steering column and spare linkages )... saw that a guy was selling this kit for about $500 on craigsl.. I went on line and researched a bit so decided to make my own. Not sure if any one has done it not too complicated just time consuming..you will need the 03 ion electric motor, and need to get on ebay and buy this module that a guy sells for about $70, (((module comes with a adjustment knob to set desired torque))helps if you got a welder and some spare steel angle to mount assembly..i will attach some pics ..... haven't been able to take it out but its very easy to turn now..,

Definitely a nice upgrade. I did mine with a foreign car steering. The guy that sold you the kit made them first for a Corsa B from the UK.. mine works good. Watch high speed with the power cranked up... you definitely could roll it with this kit. Specially with no sway bar.mine is crazy loose at 40mph. Mine will kick out if I abuse it climbing hills locked in all 4's. But my buggy lives on the Rev limiter..!

So over heats and shuts it self?? After how long ?? And how long to reset if it does?? And Thanks for the advice I will keep that in mind

After alot of hard steering the computer shuts itself off so it don't burn up the motor.it usually just takes a few min for it to re-engage. I'm guessing because I run full power all the time.. definitely needed when all 4 locked.
