Electric power steering systems (EPS) are the more popular choice for car manufacturers nowadays. The EPS helps to steer the vehicle without the use of fluid. Instead, it uses an electric motor, a computer module and sensors. The sensors send data on the position of the steering column and the torque applied by the driver to the computer, and then the computer determines the amount of assistive force the motor needs to generate. The computer is usually able to adjust this based on the driving conditions and speed of the vehicle. The main advantages of an electric system are that it is able to respond more effectively when the wheels are misaligned, it doesn’t require regular maintenance, and less fuel is used.
