2004 STEERING
Power Steering - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Power steering has been adopted in all vehicles to make the steering system easier
to handle.
A 4-spoke steering wheel is used. A steering column has a shock absorbing mechanism and a tilt steering
mechanism. A rack and pinion steering gear is used. An oil pump responsive to engine RPM is used, which, with tuning for a rigid
gear box mount, improves steering stability at high speeds. The separate plastic resin oil reservoir reduces weight and makes fluid level
checking easier.
