ABSTRACT:
A method for installing an electric power assist steering system, which includes an electric motor with an output shaft, and a flexible shaft operatively connected to the output shaft. In a preferred embodiment, the flexible shaft is also operatively connected to the input shaft of a pinion gear for a rack and pinion steering mechanism. The present invention increases the engine compartment utilization efficiency while also increasing the ease of repair, installation, and removal of engine, steering system and other vehicle components in the engine compartment.
