GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
The steering gear used is the rack-and-pinion type with power assist. It is mounted on the front suspension sub-
frame. The outer ends of the outer tie rods attach to the front knuckles.
NOTE :
The power steering gear should not be serviced or adjusted. If a malfunction or oil leak occurs with the steering gear,
the complete steering gear needs to be replaced.
Operation
The steering wheel turns the pinion. The rack is a long flat bar with teeth on one side. The rack teeth mesh with the
teeth on the pinion. Rotation of the pinion moves the rack from left to right and right to left. The tie rod then causes
the wheels to turn to the left or right.
