Hydraulic vs Electric Power Steering in UAE
Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS)
HPS uses a belt-driven pump and hydraulic fluid. Common on older UAE vehicles (Toyota Land Cruiser 200, Nissan Patrol Y61/Y62, older German cars). The fluid should be flushed every 60,000-80,000 km. Power steering pump failure is the most common HPS repair in UAE: AED 600-1,800 fitted at a specialist.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
EPS uses an electric motor mounted on the steering column or rack, with no hydraulic fluid. Common on all modern cars. EPS faults typically present as a warning light and heavy steering. EPS module failure repair: AED 1,200-4,000 at a specialist. Some faults can be repaired electronically for less than full replacement.
