General steering information

The steering consists of a steering wheel, a steering column, a steering rack and pinion and steering rods. The steering wheel is mounted on the steering column shaft and transmits the force to the rack and pinion.

On each side, the steering gear rack is connected by a ball joint to the tie rod. Tie rods transmit power through the steering tips and steering knuckles to the front wheels. This steering design is easy to move with no play when turning the steering wheel from lock to lock.

To facilitate turning the steering wheel, a hydraulic power steering is installed, consisting of a power steering pump driven by a belt from the crankshaft, a fluid reservoir, hoses and tubes, and a steering gear.
