The s teeri ng gear, manufactured by Vis t eon, i s located at t he rear, top face, of t he front subframe. It is s oli dl y bolt ed t ot he subframe wit h t wo bolt s. The bolt s are pass ed t hrough from the unders ide of t he s ubframe, t o i mprove s ervi ce access ,and are screwed into threaded bos s es on the st eering gear body.
The s teeri ng gear is a convent ional end take-off, rack and pi ni on power as s is t ed unit wi th l ock to lock requiring 2.6 turnsof the st eering wheel . Thi s gives a s t eering rati o (rat io of s t eering wheel angl e t o road wheel angl e) of 16.7:1 whi chprovides very qui ck and res pons ive react ion t o driver inputs . The s teeri ng gear features large di ameter t ie-rods whichopti mize feedback and feel t o t he driver.
The s teeri ng gear compris es a s t eel , welded and machined, one pi ece hous ing whi ch cont ai ns a mechanical s t eering rack, avalve unit and an i ntegrat ed hydraulic power unit . The s teeri ng gear us es a rack with an i nt egrat ed pis ton whi ch is gui dedon plai n bearings wi thi n t he rack hous i ng. The pi ni on, whi ch is at tached t o the val ve uni t, runs in bearings and mes heswit h t he rack t eeth. The rack i s pres s ed agai nst t he pini on by a s pri ng loaded yoke which ensures that t he teet h mes hwit hout any pl ay. The pi ni on is connect ed t o t he val ve unit via a tors ion bar. The rotary moti on of the st eeri ng wheel i sconvert ed i nt o l inear movement of t he rack by t he pinion and is i nit iated by the valve uni t. This movement i s transferredint o movement of the road wheel s by adjus t abl e t ie-rods.
The pis t on of the hydrauli c power uni t is l ocat ed at one end of the gear hous ing. Each s ide of t he pis ton i s connected tofl uid press ure or fl ui d ret urn vi a external met al pipes which are connected t o t he valve unit . Each end of t he gear has at hreaded hol e which provi des for the fi tment of t he ti e-rod. The external ends of t he st eeri ng gear are s eal ed wit h bootswhich prevent t he ingres s of dirt and mois t ure and al low for verti cal movement of the t ie-rods wi th the s us pens ion inaddi ti on t o li near movement when t he s teeri ng wheel i s t urned.

ItemPart NumberDescription1-Pres s ure out put port (t o s t eering gear val ve unit )
2-Pull ey
3-Sucti on port (from res ervoi r)The pump i s a vari abl e dis placement, vane t ype pump which s uppl ies t he required hydraulic pres sure t o the st eeri ng gearvalve unit . The pump is locat ed at t he front of t he engine and i s dri ven by the Front Engine Auxil iary Dri ve (FEAD) Poly Veebelt which i s direct ly driven from the cranks haft . The out put from t he pump i ncreas es proporti onall y wi th the l oad appl iedt o the st eeri ng val ve uni t. A s el f-adjus ti ng tens ioner is fit t ed to maint ai n t he correct t ens ion on the bel t.
The pump consi st s of a cart ridge s et which cons is t s of 11 vanes and a rot or. These are mount ed on t he input s haft and ares urrounded by a variable di spl acement cam ring. The vanes rotat e wit hin the cam ri ng and are driven by t he s haft. As thevanes rotat e, the cam ri ng caus es the space between t he vanes to increase. This causes a depres si on between t he vanesand fl uid i s drawn from t he res ervoir vi a t he suct ion hos e int o t he s pace between the vanes. As t he s haft rotat es , t he inl etport i s clos ed to the vanes which have drawn in fluid, t rapping t he fluid bet ween t he vanes . The cam ring caus es t he s pacebetween t he vanes to reduce and cons equenti ally compress es and pres s uri zes t he hydrauli c fl ui d t rapped between t hem.Furt her rotat ion of t he s haft moves the vanes t o the out let port . As t he vanes pas s t he port plat e, the pres s uri zed fl ui dpass es from the pump out let port into the press ure hose to the s t eering gear.
The cam ring can move wi thi n t he val ve body. By moving the cam ri ng it i s poss ibl e to vary t he eccentricit y of t he s haftand t he vanes i n rel ati on to the cam ri ng. As t he eccent rici ty i s decreased, t he volume of hydraulic flui d t rapped bet weent he vanes decreases , mai nt aining a cons t ant flui d output. This reduces t he power and torque required to turn t he pumpand t herefore improves engine economy. The pump has an int ernal regulati ng valve which controls t he eccentricit y of t hecam ring and t herefore vari es the flow rat e accordi ng to demand.
At low engi ne s peeds , the i nternal dis placement of the vari able di spl acement pump i s at it s maximum t o generate thecont rol led fluid out put. As t he pump s peed increas es wit h engine s peed, t he i ncreas ed flow ins ide t he pump generates aback press ure wit hin the pump. This back pres s ure causes an internal regul ati ng val ve to move t he the cam ri ng andreduce t he int ernal di spl acement of the pump to maint ian t he cons t ant flui d fl ow from the pump.
A regul ati ng, pres s ure reli ef val ve wit hin t he pump l imi ts the maxi mum press ure s uppl ied t o t he s teeri ng gear t o 115 bar
(1667 l bf in2) ± 4 bar (58 lbf i n2) and al so li mit s t he maximum fl ow t o 8.8 l/min (1.93 gal/min) ± 0.5 l /min (0.1 gal /min)
at 10 bar (145 bf i n2). The pump has a dis placement of 9.6 cc/rev (0.58i n3/rev).

OVERVIEW
The outer ends of the t ie rods are threaded t o al low t he fit ment of t he t ie rod ends. The t ie rod ends are s crewed onto t het ie rods and locked wit h locknut s t o prevent inadvertent movement. The t hread on t he t ie rod all ows the pos it ion of t he t ierod end to be adjust ed i n order t o s et the correct t oe angle for each front wheel. The t ie rod has a ball fit ti ng which i ss crewed int o t he end of the s t eering gear. A boot is fit ted t o t he s teering gear to protect t he bal l fi tt ing from dirt andmois t ure.
The t ie rod end compris es a forged hous ing wi th a t hreaded bore for at tachment to the t ie rod. The t ie rod endincorporat es a non-s ervi ceable t apered ball joint which l ocat es in a tapered hol e in the front wheel knuckl e and i s s ecuredwit h a sel f-locki ng nut. The ball joint has an int ernal hexagonal drive which enables t he joi nt to be hel d s t at ionary whent he sel f-locki ng nut is t ight ened.
