GENERAL INFORMATION

1. OVERVIEW

The power steering has been designed to make the wheel move more easily than in a manual steering system. The
hydraulic power assists the process utilizing hydraulic fluid. The fluid increases pressure in the power steering pump
and aids the movement of the steering mechanism.
The power steering system consists of pump, oil reservoir, rack and gear box.
The power steering pump is a vane type and delivers hydraulic pressure to operate the power steering system.
The pressure relief valve in the pump controls the discharging pressure.
The rotary valve in the rack and the pinion gear directs the oil from the power steering pump to one side of the rack
piston. The integrated rack piston converts the hydraulic pressure to linear movement. The operating force of the
rack moves the wheels through the tie rod, the tie rod end and the steering knuckle. Even though the hydraulic
pressure cannot be generated, a driver can steer the vehicle without power assist but it needs very high steering
force.
In this case, the operating force of the steering wheel is conveyed to the pinion, and the movement of the pinion
moves the rack through the pinion gear combined to the rack gear.
