SP RING-SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY REMOUNTING ON THE VEHICLE
P lace the spring on the SUS 600 device shaft (2).
Position on the spring the upper plate and the filtering block of the shock absorber.
P ut on the shaft the lock bushing (6) and the spacer (5).
Compress the spring by means of the crank (1).
P lace the c ompression plate (7 ) on the filteri ng block and position the rods grips (8) on the
spring last but one coil. Tighten the nuts (9) till the rods grips (2) came in contact with the spring coil.
D etach the crank (1) and remove the compressed spring from the shaft (2).
P lace the shock absorber in the support (4).
P lace on the shock absorber the axial bearing, the lower plate, the buffer, and the spring.
M ount the upper attachment nut of the shock absorber by means of the SUS 601 combined
wrench and tighten to the required moment. Loosen the nuts (9) and take out the plate (7) with the rods grips (8).
Mount the spring-shock absorber assembly on the vehicle, in the reverse order of dismounting.

Di smount the shock absorber lower attach-
ment nut and screw.
Push the axle and remove the spring.

REMOU NT I NG
At each dismounting, it is OBLIGATORY the replacement of the limiter washer( 1) as well
as of the safety washer ( 2).
M ount in the rack : j oint body ( 3), not before positioning the safety washer ( 2), the limiter
w asher (1) and oiling the t hreaded pa rt ( 4) of the j oint body with FIXAMED R 58-C.S.1/82
(not excessively).
After tightening to t he required m oment of the axial ball joint on the rack, bend the safety
w asher over one of the cuts made on the joint body.
By means of the DIR 1306 , lock up the rack in regard to t he steering box casing.
Tighten to the required moment of 5 daNm, the joint body in the rack by means of the
DIR 505 wrench.
M ount the funnel ball joint in the steering knuckle arm, then tighten the nut to the required
moment of 4 daNm.
P osition the steering at the middle point ( wheels being in straight line position) in order to
balance the air from bellows. Mount the bellows in its c hannel from the steering box casing and secure it using a clip.
CHECKING
S lightly tighten by hand one of the bellows in order to check the other one inflation, in this
way, the good air circulation inside the steering box is checked. Check the steering geometry and adjust the parallelism if necessary.

General
CONSTANT POWER STEERING (CPS)
1. Power steering pump
2. Power steering box
3. High pressure piping
4. Low pressure piping
5. Oil reservoir
6. Rotary valve
7. Pressure controller
8. Accessories belt
9. Rigid ducts
10. Steering box working
chambers
The working principle of the Constant Power Steering (CPS ) system, consists in steering
hydraulic assistance by hydraulic fluid (oil) passing through a drawer (the two chambers ( 10)
from steering box) with double effect and through a rotary valve ( 6) that is distributing the fluid
through two pipes (9) towards the steering box ( 2) subject t o the full turni ng direction of the
directing wheels. The hydraulic assistance is ensured by a pressure controller ( 7) attached on the high pressure
pipe (3) and connected to the injection computer.
The injection computer is receiving information, during power steering operation, about the
pressure value in “high pressure circuit” ( which may be seen by means of the CLIP tester). The
pressure value in “high pressure circuit” is depending of the pomp conducted pressure as well as
of the used oil fluidity. The more pressure is high, the power steering pump is absorbing more additional energy.
The power steering pump ( 1) is continuously providing in the circuit a constant hydraulic fluid
(oil) flow, regardless the engine RPM, based on the fact t hat pump is driven by the accessories
belt (8). In this case, the system has the generic denomination of “ Open Center System “
REMARK:
The steering is not to be ful ly locked at maximum m ore than 45 seconds at an engine
RPM of 2500 rot/min (risk of power steering pump damaging).

EMARK :
It is forbidden to dismount from the power
st eering box the pipes between the rotary
valve and the steering box.
Whe n dismounti ng, the high and low
p ressure pipes are to be positioned with the
connection screws downward oriented, i n
order to avoid contaminants penetration.
R EMOU NT I NG
Mount :
-steering box
-s teering rods ball j oints in t he steeri ng

-anti-rocking steering rod;
- cardan joint in the position marke d at
dismounting;
-high and low pressure pipes (remove
MOT 453 pliers), ob serving t he re qui re d
tightening moments; -piping attachment collars;
- wheels;
- battery.
Refill the circuit with oil ( full reservoir).
With stopped engine, easy a ct upon the
steering wheel in both directions, so that rack
is performing a complete double stroke.
Repeat the operation with started engine
(oil pump operatin g), then fill up to the MAXI
mark, the oil level in the reservoir.
Check and eventually adjust the
parallelism.
