Steering gear box assembly
The steering gear box assembly consists of power cylinder and control valve. The power cylinder has a
cylinder, piston and piston rod. The control valve directs the oil to one end face of the piston to enhance
the steering force. There is a safety check valve which lets the driver steer manually when there is a
malfunction in the hydraulic circuit.
8. STEERING SYSTEM LAYOUT
1) HPS (Hydraulic Power Steering)
The hydraulic pump is a vane
type pump and consists of the
flow control valve and pressure
relief valve.The oil reservoir sends the oil to
the power steering pump and
receives the oil from the power
steering gear.There is a shock absorber which
is folded in the axial direction
when the vehicle is crashed and
a ignition switch assembly on
the column shaft.
The lower shaft minimizes the
torque change using a CV joint
which has constant angular
speed.

ECU
The ECU controls the electric
power steering system
depending on the driving
conditions, based on the
signals from the torque and
angle sensor.
2) EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Fuse
The vehicle with EPS has
EPS fuse (80A) mounted to
the positive (+) terminal of the
battery, and this fuse supplies
power to the EPS unit
directly..
Steering gear box assembly
When the driver turns the steering wheel, a torque is generated and the torque sensor and the steering
angle sensor in the EPS system detect the rotation of the steering column to run the electric motor. At
this time, the worm gear connected to the motor drives the helical gear mounted to the steering column
to generate the assist torque for the steering column. This allows the driver to operate the steering
wheel easier.

Colum shaft assembly
The column shaft assembly consists
of BLAC motor, ECU, torque and
angle sensors. The electric power
steering (EPS) system uses the
electric motor to assist the steering
force. It functions independently
regardless of whether the engine is
running or not, unlike the existing
hydraulic power steering.
The lower shafts functions in the
same way as the hydraulic type.

4) Basic Inspection
(1) Horn operation
Listen for the horn sound when pressing the horn pad on the steering wheel. -
(2) Brake operation
Check if there is any abnormal noise, unusually long braking distance, or uneven braking force. If the
brake warning lamp does not go out even after starting the engien or are flashing during driving,
have the brake system checked immediately.
Check the brake pipes and hoses for connection, oil leak, crack or interference after changing the
position of tires. When replacing the tires, check the brake disc for surface condition and wear.
Check the parking brake cable and brake operation. Shorten the checking interval if the parking
brake is used frequently. -
-
-
(3) Exhaust system
Be aware to any changes in sound or smell from the exhaust system. These may be caused by leak or
overheat. Have the exhaust system checked and repaired immediately.
Inspect the exhaust system including catalytic converter. Inspect all the components and body frame
near the exhaust system. -
-
(4) Tires
Unusual vibration of the steering wheel and seats or pulling to one side on the straight and level roads
may indicates the uneven tire inflation pressure or poor wheel balance. -
(5) Steering and suspension system
Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering system for damage, looseness or missing
parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering line and the hoses for
connection, leak, crack and chafing. Inspect the drive axle boot and seals for damage, tear or leak.
Replace or repair the system if necessary. -
(6) Engine oil
Check the oil level when the engine is still warm and add the specified engine oil if necessary. -
(7) Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir, coolant conditions (contamination, foreign material),
and hoses for damage and leak. Replace or add the Ssangyong genuine coolant, if needed. -
(8) Engine drive belt
Check all drive belts on the engine for wear, crack and looseness. Retighten or replace the belt, if
needed. -

The shiftable gear can be adjusted by pressing the
"UP (D+)" or "DOWN(D-)" switch when the gear
selector lever is in “M” position.

If the selector lever cannot be moved from
“P” or “N” position, try to move the lever
while pushing down this button with finger. For
safety, turn off the engine and depress the
brake pedal before the attempt.

2. TORQUE STEER
Torque steer is a condition in which a vehicle pulls to either side because of an inequality of traction
between the left and right driving wheels when a large torque is applied to the front wheel of a FWD or
4WD.
Especially for a FWD vehicle, this mechanical condition can cause the steering effect because of the
output torque (rotational force) produced by the gyroscope.
This rotational force is due to the difference in distance between the left/right front wheels and the
transaxle which leads to the change of the shaft bending angle.
To prevent this, the intermediate shaft, called Intermediate shaft, is employed on each side so that the
bending angle and the length are kept constant.
A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular
momentum. In essence, a mechanical gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to
take any orientation. Although this orientation does not remain fixed, it changes in response to an
external torque much less and in a different direction than it would without the large angular
momentum associated with the disk's high rate of spin and moment of inertia. Since external torque
is minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, its orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of
any motion of the platform on which it is mounted.

1) Front Suspension (Macperson Strut Type)
Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the vibration from tires. And, in this type of
suspension, the steering linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle.
Macperson strut type suspension is the independent suspension which has the spring on the strut
integrated with shock absorber. The lower arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is
installed on the knuckle to support the tire. This type of suspension is normally applied to the vehicle with
monocoque body, especially on the front wheel drive type. The upper part with spring is mounted at
body mount and the strut with shock absorber is linked on the steering knuckle.
