Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force which
moves the rack left 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 control is maintained. However
under these conditions more steering effort is required.
