STEERING
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The steering system incorporates a compression joint
in the lower shaft and is designed to collapse on
impact. The mis-alignment of the upper steering
column with the steering box and the inclusion of two
universal joints, is also designed to prevent the
column moving toward the driver under frontal impact.
The steering box is located behind the first chassis
cross member and is connected to the road wheel
swivel housing by a drag link and track rod. A
hydraulic damper absorbs shocks in the steering,
caused by road wheel deflections when operating on
rough terrain.Power steering system
The power steering system comprises a hydraulic
pump which is belt driven from the engine and
supplied with fluid from a reservoir that also acts as a
cooler.
The steering box houses a self neutralizing rotary
valve which is part of the worm/valve assy and an
hydraulic piston/rack to assist the mechanical
operation. The rotary valve which is operated by
movement of the steering wheel, directs fluid pressure
to the appropriate side of the hydraulic piston/rack to
provide assistance.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Pump and regulator valve operation
The pump which is belt driven from the engine is an
eccentric roller type and also houses the pressure
regulator and flow control valve. The pressure is
controlled by a spring loaded ball valve (3) which is
housed inside the flow control valve piston (4).
No demand for assistance High flow through box -
Low pressure
With no demand for assistance the rotary valve in the
steering box acts as a pressure relief valve, allowing
fluid (A) to flow freely through the steering box and
back to the reservoir and pump inlet (B).
No demand for assistance
1.Reservoir
2.Pump
3.Pressure control ball valve and spring
4.Flow control valve and spring
5.Press fit plug (ball bearing)
6.Restrictor
The ball plug (5) is pressed into the valve (4)
during manufacture and determines the opening
pressure of pressure relief valve (3).No flow, through box - High pressure
When the steering is turned, the rotary valve
effectively stops all fluid flow through the steering box,
thus causing an increase in pressure (A). This
increase in pressure is felt in the flow control valve
spring chamber where, at a pre-determined pressure
the relief valve (3) will open and allow the pressure to
escape. The fall in pressure in the flow control spring
chamber, allows the flow control valve to move to the
right, which in turn allows pump output (A) to escape
directly into the pump inlet (B).
Assistance demanded
As soon as the steering wheel is released after
making a turn, the system reverts to the condition
seen in J6292 and the road wheels are returned to the
straight ahead position by the mechanical steering
geometry.
In the event of any hydraulic failure, steering control,
though heavy, will be maintained through the
mechanical components in the steering box.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS INSUFFICIENT POWER ASSISTANCE
1.Is fluid level correct?
YES - go to 3.
NO - Fill/bleed sytem
2.Is problem a leak?
YES - Diagnose
See Power Steering Fluid
Leaks
.
NO - continue
3.Is drive belt tension correct?
YES - go to 5.
NO - Is drive belt worn or contaminated with oil?
See ELECTRICAL, Repair, Auxiliary drive
belt
.
4.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - continue
5.Carry out pressure test at idle and 1000 rev/min.
See Power Steering System - Test.
6.Is correct pressure achieved?
YES - steering box defective
Not at any speed go to 9.
Not at idle go to 7.
7.Is idle speed correct?
YES-Goto8.
NO - Correct idle speed -
See ENGINE TUNING
DATA, Information, 300 Tdi Engine
.
8.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - go to 9.
9.Bypass steering box using adaptor tap
LRT-57-001
10.Is correct pressure obtained?
YES - defective steering box
NO - defective steering pump
CAUTION: Do not hold steering wheel on
full lock for more than 30 seconds in any
one minute to avoid overheating fluid and
possibly damaging seals.
NOTE: 1. Excessive pressure in the
system is almost always caused by a
faulty relief valve in the PAS pump.
NOTE: 2. Insufficient pressure in the
system is usually caused by low fluid level
or PAS pump drive belt slip, or one of the
following: PAS system leaks, faulty PAS pump
relief valve, fault in steering box valve and worm
assembly, leak at piston in steering box, worn
components in PAS pump or box.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS POWER STEERING SYSTEM - TEST
NOTE: If steering lacks power assistance.
Check pressure of hydraulic pump before
fitting new components. Use fault
diagnosis chart to assist in tracing faults.
A. Steering box.
B. Steering pump.
C. Existing hose, steering box to pump.
D. HoseLRT-57-030.
E. Test adaptorLRT-57-001.
F. Pressure gaugeLRT-57-005.
G. Thread adaptorLRT-57-004.
H. Thread adaptorLRT-57-022.Procedure
1.A hydraulic pressure gauge and test adaptor is
used to test power steering system. This gauge
is able to measure 140 kgf/cm
2. The maximum
power steering system pressure is 77 kgf/cm2.
2.Under certain fault conditions of the hydraulic
pump it is possible to obtain pressures up to 105
kgf/cm
2. It is important to realise that pressure on
gauge is same pressure being exerted upon
steering wheel. When testing, turn steering
wheel gradually while reading pressure gauge.
3.Check and maintain maximum fluid level of
reservoir.
4.Examine power steering units and connections
for leaks. All leaks must be rectified before
attempting to test the system.
5.Check steering pump drive belt tension and
renew belt if necessary,
See ELECTRICAL,
Repair, Auxiliary drive Belt
.
6.Assemble test equipment and fit to vehicle, as
shown in RR3959M.
7.Open tap of adaptor.
8.Bleed system, take care not to overload
pressure gauge.
9.With system in good condition, pressures should
be:
(A) Steering wheel held on full lock and engine
running at 1,000 rev/min, 70 to 77 kgf/cm
2.
(B) Steering wheel held on full lock and engine
idling, 28 kgf/cm
2.
Checks should be carried out on both full lock
positions.
CAUTION: Do not maintain this pressure
for more than 30 seconds in any one
minute to avoid overheating fluid and
possibly damaging seals.
10.Release steering wheel and with engine idling.
Pressure should read below 7 kgf/cm
2.
11.If pressures differ to those given a fault exists.
12.To determine if fault is steering box or pump.
Close adaptor tap for a maximum five seconds.
13.If gauge does not register specified pressure,
pump is faulty.
14.Fit a new pump, bleed system and repeat test. If
low pressure or a substantial imbalance exists,
fault is in steering box valve and worm
assembly.
