Fitment: DB2, DB2/4, DB2/4 MkII, DB MkII, DB4, DB5, DB6, DB6 MK2
At Aston Workshop we offer assisted steering for any post war Aston Martin. One of the problems of existing hydraulic assisted steering is the increasing cost and difficulty in their overhaul and repair and that they are prone to leak. Replacing an existing hydraulic system with an up to date electric one therefore makes sense.
Installing an electric power steering system involves the removal of the steering column and its replacement with one equipped with an electric actuator and torque sensor. Today, these systems are being regularly asked for and a replacement column can now often be supplied on an exchange basis. Some minor changes to wiring will be required and an adjustment knob put into the dash to give a degree of driver selected assistance. Alternatively, a fixed degree of assistance can be used. Either way, the installation does not affect the look of the car in any way.
Power steering ehancements for the DB4’s, 5’s or 6’s can be provided almost immediately. Those for the earlier Astons will require a little notice, as the existing steering column in DB2’s, DB2/4’s and DB Mk3 will need to be specially produced. As for the later models, we deal with them on a case by case basis.
