Steering: Description and Operation

POWER STEERING








GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Power Steering (P/S) system in this vehicle reduces the driver's effort needed in turning the steering wheel by utilizing the hydraulic pressure generated by the P/S pump which is driven by the engine.
It is an integral type with the mechanical gear unit, hydraulic pressure cylinder unit and control valve unit all built in the gear box.

MANUAL STEERING





GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The rotary motion of the steering wheel is carried to the steering shaft upper, steering shaft lower, steering gear box and pitman arm. Then as the pitman arm moves, the center link is caused to move linearly, actuating the tie rod to turn the wheels, right and left, through their knuckle arms. The steering system formed by the components named above is designed for easy steering, high durability and excellent steering reaction as well as reliable self-restoring action.
