Road wheel imbalance due 
to tire flat-spotting  
Ensure tires installed are to Jaguar 
specification. Install new tires as 
required 
Check and adjust tire pressures to 
correct specification Component Tests 
 
Steering Linkage Inspection and Backlash (Free play) Check 
 
 
CAUTION: Steering gear boots must be handled carefully to avoid damage. Use new clamps when installing steering gear 
boots.

The gear is secured to the 
sub-frame with 3 bolts and washers which screw into threaded tubes in bushes which are integral with the sub-frame. 
 
The steering gear comprises an aluminum, cast, valve housing which contains the hydraulic valve unit and Servotronic valve. 
The mechanical steering rack and the hydraulic actuator are located in a steel cylinder which is attached to the cast valve 
housing. 
 
The steering gear uses a rack with an integrated piston which is guided on plain bearings within the cylinder and the valve 
housing. The pinion, which is attached to the valve unit, runs in bearings and meshes with the rack teeth. The rack is pressed 
against the pinion by a spring loaded yoke which ensures that the teeth mesh with the minimum of play. The pinion is 
connected to the valve unit via a torsion bar. The rotary motion of the steering wheel is converted into linear movement of the 
rack by the rack and pinion mechanism and is initiated by the valve unit. This movement is transferred into movement of the 
road wheels by adjustable tie-rods.

1 Bolt and washer (2 off) 2 Rubber mounting (2 off) 3 Cap 4 Reservoir body 5 Return connection 6 Suction hose connection 7 Max/Min level 8 Lanyard The reservoir is located in the engine compartment, on the LH suspension housing. The reservoir is attached to a bracket via 2 rubber mounts, and the bracket is attached to the suspension housing. 
 
The reservoir is a plastic moulding with an integral 80 micron, non-serviceable filter. Two moulded ports at the base of the 
reservoir provide for attachment of the fluid supply hose to the power steering pump and fluid return hose from the fluid cooler. 
The reservoir is fitted with a removable cap which is screwed 1/4 turn to lock into the reservoir body. 
The reservoir has upper and minimum marks moulded on its outside of the body. Fluid Reservoir
