1 Steering System General Information DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Steering System Special Tool(s) Dial Thermometer F 023-R0007 or equivalent Material Item MERCON Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX Specification MERCON Principles of Operation Power Steering The power steering system uses a CIII power steering vane-type pump to pump the fluid from the 73III Automotive Meter reservoir to the rack-and-pinion steering gear. The 105-R0057 or equivalent power steering pump is mounted to the engine and driven by the engine accessory drive belt. Power steering fluid is pulled into the pump from the reservoir by vacuum. The minimum vacuum required is kpa (20-25 in-hg). The power steering fluid is then trapped and squeezed into a Power Steering Analyzer smaller area inside the pump. This action 211-F001 ( ) or pressurizes the fluid at the output, as it flows to the equivalent rest of the system. A pressure relief/flow valve is built into the pump to control the maximum pressure. The relief pressure is between 9,653-10,549 kpa (1,400-1,530 psi). This action prevents damage to the system during different Gauge, Spring Tension engine speeds. While under pressure, the power (T74P-3504-Y) steering fluid flows through the high pressure power steering line to the rack-and-pinion steering gear.

4 Steering System General Information Steering System Symptom Definitions Drift/Pull Pull is described as a tugging sensation felt by the hands on the steering wheel that must be overcome to keep the vehicle going straight. Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with the hands off the steering wheel. A vehicle-related drift/pull on a flat road can cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect. Drift/pull can be induced by conditions external to the vehicle, such as wind or road camber. Excessive Steering Wheel Play Excessive steering wheel play is a condition in which there is too much steering wheel movement before the wheels move. A small amount of steering wheel free play is considered normal. Feedback Feedback is a roughness felt in the steering wheel when the vehicle is driven over rough pavement. Hard Steering or Lack of Assist Hard steering or lack of assist is experienced when the steering wheel effort exceeds specifications. Hard steering can remain constant through the full turn or occur near the end of a turn. It is important to know the difference between hard steering/lack of assist and binding. Symptom Chart Symptom Chart Hard steering or lack of assist can result from either hydraulic or mechanical conditions. It is extremely important to know if this concern occurs during driving or during high-effort parking maneuvers. Nibble Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel. Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to center after a turn, or steering correction, is completed. Shimmy Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel resulting from large, side to side (lateral) tire/wheel movements. Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface. Wander Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.

Pinpoint Test A: Steering System ise rmal Operation The power steering pump, which is driven by the crankshaft through a drive belt and pulleys, develops the hydraulic pressure necessary to operate the system. When the engine is running, fluid is drawn into the power steering pump from the power steering pump reservoir. Hydraulic fluid is pressurized in the power steering pump and sent to the steering gear. The rotary valve determines fluid direction to assist the driver in the turning of the vehicle. When the steering wheel is turned, the steering gear converts this hydraulic pressure and flow into mechanical motion that moves the front wheels in the direction of the turn. The steering gear uses tie-rods to connect the front knuckles, which then pivot on the ball joints, steering the vehicle.
