General Information
RESERVOIRThe power steering system has a hydraulic pump. The pump is a constant flow rate and displacement, vane-type pump. The pump has a remote mounted reservoir.
GEAR
The steering gear used is a recirculating ball type gear. The gear acts as a rolling thread between the worm shaft and the rack piston. When the steering wheel is turned the worm shaft turns which moves the rack piston. The rack piston movement turns the pitman shaft which is connected to the steering linkage by the pitman arm. This gear is used on all models.
