Description
Upgrade your Buick Skylark with modern steering performance using this electric power assist system—ideal for improved drivability, especially at low speeds or tight turns.
Note: Kits are designed for floor shift models only. Please contact us for compatibility with column shift vehicles.
Compatibility with Rack or Steering Box Systems: This kit can be adapted to work with either a factory steering box or an aftermarket rack-and-pinion setup. If your Skylark is equipped with a rack, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll need to confirm the shaft size from the rack to the firewall to determine compatibility. Note: Additional linkages needed to reach the rack are not included and must be purchased separately.
Key Details:
Low 9 amp draw for minimal electrical load
Estimated installation time: 10 hours
Some cutting required during install
Steering wheel and column not included
Why Upgrade to Electric Power Steering?
Swapping to electric power steering provides multiple advantages over traditional hydraulic systems:
No Pump, No Fluid, No Leaks: EPAS eliminates the need for a hydraulic pump, fluid reservoir, and hoses—simplifying your engine bay and removing common failure points.
Reduced Engine Drag: Since the system is powered by electricity, not engine power, you regain horsepower that would otherwise be lost to a hydraulic pump.
Dynamic Assist When You Need It: The system activates only when turning, providing power assistance at low speeds (like parking or tight turns) and a firmer, more connected feel at higher speeds. This gives you the best of both worlds—effortless control and enhanced road feedback.
Fully Adjustable Feel: An integrated adjustable potentiometer lets you fine-tune the level of assist to match your driving style. Dial in maximum assist for daily driving, or reduce it for a more performance-oriented feel on the track.
Reliable & Maintenance-Free: Electric systems require virtually no maintenance and are less prone to wear than their hydraulic counterparts. That means more time on the road and less time in the garage.
How It Works: An onboard computer senses the amount of torque you're applying to the steering wheel and uses an electric motor to amplify that input. A built-in adjustable potentiometer lets you fine-tune the level of assist—maximize it for easy parking or dial it back for a more responsive feel at highway speeds. The system is only active while steering.
