STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE CONSTRUCTION
• A size and weight reduced rack and pinion system steering gear has been adopted.
• Heightened support rigidity has been achieved due to the integration of the steering gear mounts (two
locations) and gear housing, improving response and steering stability.
• A check valve equipped to the power steering fluid intake port prevents the power steering fluid from flowing
back as a result of road surface resistance. Due to this, kickback from the road surface is reduced.

POWER STEERING OIL PUMP CONSTRUCTION
• A size and weight-reduced vane-type oil pump
has been adopted.

STEERING SHAFT CONSTRUCTION
• Due to the adoption of a tilt mechanism for the steering shaft on all vehicles, operability has been improved.
• The tilt mechanism has an up-and-down movement range of 32 mm {1.3 in} and can be adjusted, without
steps, to anywhere in this range.
