The power steering system is a closed loop system. The power steering system consists of the following three major components:

The power steering fluid is drawn from the power steering fluid reservoir by the power steering pump via the power steering reservoir hose. The power steering pump pressurizes and moves the power steering fluid through the system. The power steering pump discharges through the power steering gear inlet hose, which transports the pressurized power steering fluid to the power steering gear. After exiting the power steering gear via the power steering gear outlet hose the power steering fluid returns to the power steering reservoir.
