New OEM Electric Steering Column | Renault Clio 4 RS

The risks of a failing electric steering column: what your Clio 4 RS loses in safety and precision

The electric power steering (EPS) column in the Renault Clio 4 RS is the direct link between your steering wheel and the front suspension. Over time, through spirited driving stress or internal ECU electrical faults, severe symptoms can occur: intermittent power loss, sudden heavy steering feel, knocking sounds, or dashboard warning messages such as "Check Steering".

Driving with a worn steering column or fitting a used unit with an unknown history exposes your car to mechanical binding, total steering assistance failure at high speed, or roadworthiness inspection rejection. By installing this brand new genuine Renault 488109859R electric power steering column, you eliminate these dangers permanently: you regain razor-sharp steering feel, eliminate play, and restore 100% factory reliability.

100% brand new genuine OEM factory part from Renault (not reconditioned), this steering assembly includes the integrated electric power steering motor and steering angle sensor ensuring seamless communication with the ESP / RS Drive system.
