The power rack and pinion..stee&g .gstem--h,w, a ,rotaq- spool valve which
directs hydraulic fluid coming from the power steering pump .to one side or
the other
side of the rack piston. The integral rack.piston is attached to the
rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force which
moves the rack4eft or right.
The force is then transmitted through the
inner and outer tie rods to the steering
.. knuckles, , which turn the wheels
If hydraulic assist is not available, manual conirol, is ‘maintained. However
under these, conditions. more steering effort is required.
