This vehicle uses an integral power steering system. The integral power steering system integrates the power steering cylinder and the control valves into the steering gear unit. The integral power steering system does not require a seperate power steering cylinder. The integral power steering system consists of the following components:
• | The power steering gear |
• | The power steering pump |
• | The hydraulic reservoir |
The power steering pump components are a combination of many machined and polished surfaces with very fine tolerances.
Care and cleanliness are very important when servicing the power steering pump components. The entry of even small amounts of dirt may cause an unsatisfactory repair and possible damage. Clean the power steering components in a solvent that will not damage any of the rubber parts.
