Description an
d Operation

Parts List
The power steering system is a rack and pinion design, with an engine-dri ve n pump providing the steering assistance. The
system features variable steering assistance with vehicle spee d, a variable ratio steering rack, and a hydraulic control valve
which has a torsion bar arrangement giving improved center feel to the steering.
Absolute cleanliness must be observed wh en replenishing the fluid or dismantling any part of the system. If any major
component is renewed a new fluid rese rvoir must be fitted. New fluid from a sealed container must be used.

d on the front of the engine.
Provides hydraul
ic pressure fo
r the power steering system.
Is of the roll
er vane type.
Is belt driven from th
e en

To
in
stall the pressure test equipment:
Pla
c
e a suitable drain tray below the PAS pump.
Install a hose clamp
on
the re
servoir to pump hose prior to disconnecting any hoses, to avoid unnecessary loss of
fluid.
Di sc
onnect the hose from the PAS pump high pres
sure outlet.
Ins
tall the pump outlet to hose ad
aptor. Do not omit the O-ring.
Conn
ect the pump adaptor to control valve hose of the test equipment.
Install th
e adaptor in the high pressure hose previ
ously re
moved from the pump outlet.
Conne
ct the connector of the test equipment hose to the adaptor.
R
e
move the hose clamp fro
m the reservoir hose.
Start th
e engine.
With the control valve OPEN and the engine idling , the following system pressures may be checked:
Du
ring turning.
W
h
en the steering is
held on full lock.
With
the steeri
ng at rest.
• WARNINGS:
TO AVOID EXCESSIVE HEATING OF THE PAS PUMP, DO NOT CLOSE THE VALVE FOR LONGER THAN NECESSARY.
