Power Rack & Pinion: Description

The power steering system is rack and pinion type. Power assist is high at low vehicle speeds and low at high vehicle speeds. The speed sensor is a pump driven by a speedometer gear shaft, driven by a gear in the differential. When vehicle is in motion, the speed sensor pump relieves a portion of the hydraulic pressure, reducing power assist. On all models, system consists of a power rack and pinion steering gear, steering pump, fluid filter/reservoir, and cooler lines and hoses.
