Operation
Turning of the steering wheel is converted into linear travel through the meshing of the helical pinion teeth with the
rack teeth within the steering gear. The lateral travel pushes and pulls the tie rods to change the direction of the
vehicle’s front wheels.
Power assist steering is provided by a belt driven rotary type pump. It directs fluid through power steering fluid hoses
to the power steering gear where it is used to assist the driver’s turning effort.
Manual steering control of the vehicle can be maintained if power steering assist is lost. However, under this condi-
tion, steering effort is significantly increased.
WARNING!
Power steering fluid, engine parts and exhaust system may be extremely hot if engine has been running. Do not
start engine with any loose or disconnected hoses. Do not allow hoses to touch hot exhaust manifold or cata-
lyst. Fluid level should be checked with the engine off to prevent personal injury from moving parts.
