The steering rack assembly :
Is mounted on the
rear face of the
front suspension crossbeam by two forg ed mounting brackets with resilient
bushes. The bushes are handed (pinion side and non-pinion side) and are orientated according to the vehicle range
application.
Convert s
the rotary motion of the steering wheel, via the steering gear pinion, to the lateral motion of the rack.
F
e
atures a variable ratio steering
rack with integral hydraulic po wer steering cylinder and piston.
Has a hydrauli
c control valve with Servotronic co
ntrol and positive center feel torsion bar.
The basic steering rack assembly is not serviceable. The following components are serviceable items:
Transfer pipework
