Steering System - Power: Description

The power steering assembly consists of a rack and pinion steering gear with a servo valve which regulates the oil flow to a servo plunger on the rack.

The hydraulic pressure is generated by an oil pump which is driven by a belt attached to the crankshaft pulley. The pump is integrated in a steel container that also serves as the hydraulic reservoir. In addition, the pump also contains a control valve which regulates oil pressure and flow.
