to the driver.

OIL PUMP

OIL PUMP

M2370004000544

The oil pump is a vane type with a fluid flow control 
system which functions so the steering wheel turning 
effort will be reduced at low engine speeds and 
increase at higher speeds. 

The oil pump is essentially the same as the conven-
tional one in construction.

STEERING GEAR

M2370003000756

The steering gear and linkage is mounted on the 
front axle crossmember via three bushings with inner 
cylinders, and has the following features.

• The bushing with inner cylinder supports the 

steering gear and linkage in the vertical and 
fore-and-aft direction with high rigidity, and con-
siderably improves the steering feeling.
