Electric Power Steering System Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: Heavy Duty
Electric Power Steering System Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: Heavy Duty
This is a worked specification for electric power steering system in a heavy duty programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The heavy duty version exists because the duty cycle on workshop replacements is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.

- Fix the base material in writing — Stainless Steel, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved

- cold forging
- injection moulding
- robot welding
- precision stamping
- sintering
Where this example applies
Programmes that run heavy duty most often specify this build for workshop replacements. Related applications include emergency vehicles, scooter fleets, construction equipment, light trucks, aftermarket retail.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
