Trapped oil
Return to oil tank
When the steering wheel is held still, the leaf springs
return and hold the power steering spool in the neu-
tral position.
This ensures no more oil is supplied to the steering
cylinder. The spool also traps the oil in the steering
cylinder and allows oil in the sensing lines to return
to tank therefore allowing the priority flow divider to
move to the left.
