STEERING
DESCRIPTION
Power steering system
The power assisted steering system incorporates a
compression joint in the lower shaft, designed to
collapse on impact and for certain countries, an air
bag located in the centre of the steering wheel.
The mis-alignment of the upper steering column with
the steering box and the inclusion of two universal
joints and a compression joint in the lower shaft, is
also designed to prevent frontal impact moving the
column toward the driver.
The power steering system comprises a hydraulic
pump which is belt driven from the engine and
supplied with fluid from a reservoir that also acts as a
cooler.
The steering box houses a self neutralizing rotary
valve which is part of the worm/valve assy and a
hydraulic piston/rack to assist the mechanical
operation.
The steering box is located behind the first cross
member of the chassis and is connected to the road
wheels by the drag link and track rod. An hydraulic
damper absorbs shocks in the steering, caused by
road wheel deflections when operating on rough
terrain.
The rotary valve which is operated by movement of
the steering wheel, directs fluid pressure to the
appropriate side of the hydraulic piston/rack to provide
assistance.
