2. POWER STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY
The power steering gear consists of power cylinder and control valve.
The power cylinder has cylinder, piston and piston rod. The control valve directs the oil to one
end face of the piston to enhance the steering force.
The control valve controls the directions and operations of power cylinder.
Additionally, the safety check valve is installed so that the system can be operated manually
when the system is defective.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM
3. POWER STEERING PUMP
The vane type pump that is connected to engine by belt is used for the power steering system.
This pump generates and controls a proper hydraulic pressure and flows by using the flow
control valve and pressure relief valve.
The flow control valve regulates the excessive amount of discharging oil. When the steering
wheel is stationary or the oil circuit is blocked, the pressure relief valve returns the ove
r
pressurized oil to the oil reservoir.
4. OIL RESERVOIR
The oil reservoir sends the oil to the power steering pump and receives the oil from the power
steering gear.
The oil level in the reservoir depends on the steering wheel positions. therefore, measure the oil
level when the steering wheel is positioned at straight ahead direction (neutral).

1. OVERVIEW OF WHEEL & TIRE
1) Tire And wheel Balancing
There are two types of the tire and wheel balancing: static and dynamic.
Static balance is the equaldistribution of weight around the wheel. assemblies that are statically
unbalanced cause a bouncing action called wheel tramp. This condition may eventually cause
uneven tire wear.
Dynamic balance is the equal distributio of weight on eeach side of the centerline so that when
the assembly spins there is no tendency for it to move frim side to side . Assemblies that are
dynamically unbalanced may cause wheel shimmy.
General Balance Precautions ▶
Remove all deposits of foreign material from the inside of the wheel.
Remove stones frim the gread in order to avoid operator injury during spin balancing -
Inspect the tire for any damage. Balance the tire according to the equipment
manufacturer’s recommendations.
2) Structure of Tubeless Tube
The tire structure is different slightly
according to the types of the tire but a
various type of the tire has the common
structure as following;
Tread 1.
A part (that contacts) road surfaces directly
is fixed on the outsude of carcass and
breaker.
It is a strong rubber coat made of high anti-
abrasion rubber. Its running performance
depends on is surface profile.
A cord belt between tread and carcass
prevents damages of inner code due to oute
r
shock and vibration.Breaker 2.

Carcass 3.
This major part made by pilling code papers
of strong synthetic fiber forms a structure o
f
tire. Since it maintains tire pressure and
endures applied load and shock to tire, it
should have a high anti-fatigue characteristic.
Side Wall 4.
It is provided to improve the comfortable
driving by protecting carcass and cushion
movement.
Bead 5.
A steel wire winding the ending part o
f
carcass code, coated with rubber film and
wrapped with nylon cord papers. It fixes tire
to a rim.

2. TIRE’S ABNORMAL PHENOMENA
1) Standing Wave
2) Hydroplaning
During running the rotating tire repeats
deformation and restoring movement
generated in tread. But when the wheel
rotating speed reaches high, the next
deformation applied to tire before restoring
last deformation so the trembling wave
appears in the tread portion. The lower the
tire pressure the severe the trembling wave
appears during the high speed.
The condition of driving a vehicle fast on the
road surface covered with water can cause
tires to fail to rotate with a good contact on
the surface, so results in remaining them a
float. This is so-called hydroplaning. It
causes brake failure, lower tractive force
and losing the steering performance so it is
very vulnerable condition.

3. WHEEL ALIGNMENT
The first responsibility of engineering is to design safe steering and suspension systems. Each
component must be strong enough to with stand and absorb extreme punishment.
Both the steering system and the front and the rear suspension must function geometrically
with the body mass.
The steering and suspension systems require that the front wheels self-return and that the tire
rolling effort and the road friction be held to a negligible force in order to allow the customer to
direct the vehicle with the least effort and the most comfort.
A complete wheel alignment check should include measurements of the rear toe and camber.
1) Toe-in
2) Camber
Toe-in is the turning in of the tires, while toe-
out is the turning out of the tires from the
geometric centerline or thrust line. The toe
ensures parallel rolling of the wheels.
The toe serves to offset the small deflections
of the wheel support system which occu
r
when the vehicle is rolling forward.
The specified toe angle is the setting which
achieves-degrees “0°” of toe when the
vehicle is moving.
Incorrect toe-in or toe-out will cause tire
wear and reduced fuel economy. As the
individual steering and suspension
components wear from vehicle mileage,
additional toe will be needed to compensate
for the wear. Always correct the toe
dimension last.
Camber is the tilting of the top of the tire
from the vertical when viewed from the front
of the vehicle. When the tires tilt outward,
the camber is positive. When the tires tilt
inward, the camber is negative. The cambe
r
angle is measured in degrees from the
vertical. Camber influnces both directional
control and tire wear.
If the vehicle has too much positive camber,
the outside shoulder of the tire will wear. I
f
the vehicle has too much negative camber,
the inside shoulder of the tire will wear.
Camber is measured in degrees and is not
adjustable.
