Torque Sensor OEM vs Aftermarket
There has emerged a lot of aftermarket copies for the steering torque sensors. In this video, we explain the differences between the copies and original equipment manufacturer sensors. You definitely want to replace this with an OEM unit. Power Steering Seals only provides you with OEM units! We never sell aftermarket copies.

Electric Steering Torque Sensor-Why the steering wheel spins on it's own after installation
zhlédnutí 18KPřed rokem
Here is a video explaining why the steering wheel spins all the way, left or right, on it's own after installing a torque sensor. Something in the steering column moved during reassembly causing the angle and torque discs in the sensor to get out of alignment.

Wouldn't both tabs slide into the same groove on the shaft? They would be locked in place in relation to each other. Why is it a problem that the aftermarket discs can spin "independently"? What are the downsides of using an aftermarket sensor? With the prices being $400 for an OEM, and $100 for an aftermarket, it is important to know what the tradeoffs are.
Yes, both slide into the keyway on the shaft. But the torque disc tab is smaller allowing a plus/minus 5 degree of movement. The aftermarket do not allow for this movement. The discs are 'together' on the aftermarket. The aftermarket are not complying with the OE design for the system.
@@powersteeringseals4085Thanks for the blazing fast reply! I get it now, the 5deg play wont be there on the aftermarket. Any drivability or safety issues with the aftermarket sensor?
@@robbiesz Driveabiltiy/Safety-Don't know. But, for $100 difference in price, I wouldn't put my family in a car with the aftermarket.
@@powersteeringseals4085 Thank you!
Will a bad belt cause my front end to jump around also?
'Jump around' can mean many things. If the belt is missing teeth, you may have moments of no power assist.
it is one disc there, isn't it? pin prevents inner disc moving against the outer one.
Two discs, and yes.
I see some info saying that I should not try this because the unit must be programmed by professional after? True?
If you replace the whole rack and pinion, yes. For just the belt, no.
Very nice sir
Where can I get the racks in the power steering
Great video. You are a treat to watch and a testament to all backyard mechanics everywhere. Keep those wrenches turning.
This is all silly dude. Go back to regular steering racks. They put all this garbage into these cars and you're on the hook when it prematurely fails. Shit is ridiculous
I know total BS hydrolic belt driven pump works just fine. Smh
Great video. Just did mine in my14 f150. A little work but saved me big time. Thanks for the video.
👍 100% 👍
Where did u order ur belt?

you a life saver,,,mine did the same i was fkn exorcist,,,
Replaced an EPS sensor then after a few months it failed again. I aligned the original one and put it back...had it working for several months and now failed again. What I plan to do is put epoxy between the spline and the lower part sensor so that it stays aligned always. The upper part sensor has slot to fit in and does not change its alignment. Will it work?
So I bought torque sensor and after watching the pin was in plastic bag not in part I installed with out knowing this so I have take back off and try to realign it ? Or get a new one
Hi-Please contact us directly for assistance here.
You can realign it and put back the pin before inserting the whole sensor assembly. The problem is the fine spline where the lower sensor fits tightly (or not) but loses its alignment in time...
you have my leben gerettet !
Can this cause your tires to jump and no steering control when you hit a bump at around 60-70MPH? Or would that be the whole rack and pinion?
Camera man sucks
What was the truck doing my Chevy pops when I turn the steering wheel right or left low speed or idol does not pop when I’m driving normal
So the belt is not broken do u think it's a electronic problem in that square box that's on the rack and pinion component
thank you great info exact problem i m having
i begun my own project...and still learning a lot about these sensors...(ima newbie to put it this way...) recently my car alfa romeo had a bad sensor witch caused the steering lose power(caused by the used sensor) so instead buying a new EPS i decided to buy the tools to replace the sensor on my own(eventualy doing the hole thing,basicaly replacing all the parts that are exposed to wear including electronics) so basicaly...im a bit upsed since i did calibrated the sensor...put it back in to the steering column/box and the result was 98% acurate. the tool shows the sensor is calibrated but the car...says its a bit off.. those sensors even calibrated while disassembled they tend to de-calibrate just a slight while ur re-mounting the hole thing i even noticed just a slight touch on the sensor it self it goes off the target.. i wish i could learn more about these and maybe il make these as a job for my self by helping others with this problem.(replacing the sensor and/or electronics parts,basicaly regenerating the hole EPS)
Great video man ,and no Ford dealer wants us to know.
I love you
I have nissan qashqai 2015 j11 I'm driving and the steering is literally swaying..... and I have done a alignment and also the electrical torque alignment... I need help
Where can I order this
Thank you sir for making this video. Hopefully that’s what’s wrong with my steering. I’ll find out soon.
Una pregunta Después de que cambias esa parte Se necesita Aser programación a la computadora o solo así deja de hacer el ruido.. Yo sé la cambie pero solo poco duro en dejar de Aser el ruido y empezó de nuevo ...
Can you reflash the sensor?
What do you do if the belt is not broken?
I took the part out all the way the out and the belt broke is Broken, and it still wouldn’t work And it still does not work. What kind of troubleshooting that I need to do or do I need to go buy a new one? It’s bound to be something that’s Little.
Thanks my friend. I have to do one tomorrow
Can this sensor cause a steering malfunction? Like the steering being too strong
Hey did you ever figure it out got this problem right mow
Good video. What noise are symptoms where you having with that ?
So if this belt somehow snapped... no more steering control right!!! How long should those safely last before I need to replace it with new belt? 100k miles 150k miles?
You still will have steering control. Just no power assist. I really can't say how long they'll last. Some have gone 50K, some 150K.
@@powersteeringseals4085I’m at 305 thousand miles on a 2013 F 150 and still going strong
Good job, I’ll keep watching!
Thank you for your video
Thank you, we could not figure out why the calibration would not work!! Answered our question perfectly!
This makes me want to pay the price and be done, I don’t have the time
You don't have to take it off
With a bottle jack and one socket (tie rod nut) and one hex socket (6 bolts for housing cover). I had the broken belt out in 20 minutes. Waiting on the replacement in the mail.
Hello scott, hope you can answer a question for me. My power steering is out but i have no idea what part it is. Its an electric rack and pinion system and my steering wheel is real hard to turn. What component do i need to replace?
Thanks a ton for video. Where did you get your belt? Cant find the link
Looks exactly like my 2017 ram steering rack belt setup, EXACTLY LIKE IT! I’m going to be replacing my belt so I’m glad I happened accross this video
Where can I contact you to show what my steering wheel is doing
Thanks, I have the same issue, may I ask what does the retaining wire hold, is it just the two discs or more. Can the retaining wire be re-installed if you re-aligne the two discs. Many thanks Geoff
Retaining wire=lock pin? The lock pin holds the 2 disc's in alignment until the sensor is installed and aligned. The spinning is caused when something moves during re-assembly of the column and the discs get out of alignment. You can remove the sensor and try to realign the discs as I show and reinstall the pin. It will go in straight when they are in alignment.
@@powersteeringseals4085 many thanks, I don't know the history of the unit and it's going into a custom car. This unit sensor seems very sensitive to the natural zone, i used a drill to align the two discs and had a play with it on the bench and managed to make it work with the sensor out and moving it both ways. Thank you so much. One question are they always very sensitive to the natural zone. Point of interest the grove machined in the shafts is much larger than the bottom pin, is this normal and I assume there are no other bits to take up the slack.
@@geoffhoyle479 Yes, these units are VERY sensitive. Yes, the torque disc tab is smaller on purpose.
Thank you very much for your help, regards Geoff.
This is the reason for the message code “power steering malfunction”?
If you clear all your error codes with a good scan tool, restart you truck and there is no power assist and the warning comes back as soon as you try, then it most likely is.
I salute you we need more teachers like yourself to many people would rather see people fail with no warning. No hands on is experience never earned
Can Somebody please Tell me how this thing at 6:45 is called and if its possible to Order one? Thanks in advance :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Thank you for your video. Could you send a link where I can buy this part?
Nice video ❤
Talk to you later bye, 12 times 😂
You don’t have to take the unit off to begin with 🤦🏻
