The 708 Series Saginaw power steering gear has a recirculating
ball system. The ball system acts as a rolling thread between the worm
shaft and the rack piston. The following items support the worm
shaft:
The rack piston moves up in the gear when the worm shaft turns right.
The rack piston moves down in the gear when the worm shaft turns left. The
rack piston teeth mesh with the sector. The sector is a part of the pitman
shaft. Turning the worm shaft turns the pitman shaft. The pitman
shaft turns the wheels through the steering linkage.
The control valve in the steering gear directs the power steering fluid
to either side of the rack piston. The rack piston converts the hydraulic
pressure into a mechanical force. If the steering system becomes
damages and loses the hydraulic pressure, the vehicle may be controlled
manually.
