Lexus RC 200t/300h/350 EPS Power Steering Malaysia
RC uses EPS — no hydraulic fluid. RC F Sport has a variable-ratio EPS calibration that provides more direct feedback. EPS rack failure is uncommon before 150,000 km. Any change in steering feel or return-to-centre should be diagnosed — RC's RWD dynamics depend on accurate steering.
Lexus RC Power Steering
- RC uses EPS — steering tuned sportier than IS; more direct response especially in Sport+ mode
- Sport mode steering: RC Sport+ mode delivers notably heavier, more communicative steering — intended for driver engagement
- Tie rod end wear: RC is driven more dynamically than average Lexus — inspect tie rod ends at 60,000 km for any play
- EPS rack: if steering has vague centre feel on RC — check tyre pressure first; then front wheel alignment; then EPS rack
