Power Steering Pump

The vane type pump that is connected to engine by belt is
used for the power steering system. This pump generates
and controls a proper hydraulic pressure and flows by us-
ing the flow control valve and pressure relief valve.

The flow control valve regulates the excessive amount of
discharging oil. When the steering wheel is stationary or
the oil circuit is blocked, the pressure relief valve returns
the over pressurized oil to the oil reservoir.

Oil Reservoir

The oil reservoir sends the oil to the power steering pump
and receives the oil from the power steering gear.

The oil level in the reservoir depends on the steering wheel
positions. therefore, measure the oil level when the steer-
ing wheel is positioned at straight ahead direction (neutral).

The power steering gear consists of power cylinder and
control valve.

The power cylinder has cylinder, piston and piston rod.
The control valve directs the oil to one end face of the pis-
ton to enhance the steering force.

The control valve controls the directions and operations of
power cylinder.

Additionally, the safety check valve is installed so that the
system can be operated manually when the system is
defective.

GENERAL INSPECTION

1. STEERING WHEEL

Power Steering Wheel Free Play
Check

1. Start the engine and place the wheels at straight ahead

direction.

2. Turn the steering wheel until the tires starts to move and

measure the distance on the circumference of the
steering wheel.

 [Notice]

If the free play is out of the specified value, check the
clearance in steering column shaft connection and steering
linkage. Replace or repair if necessary.

Steering Effort Check

1. Park the vehicle on a paved and flat ground and place

the front wheels at straight ahead direction.

2. Start the engine and let it run around 1,000 rpm.

3. Install the spring scale on the circumference of the

steering wheel and measure the steering effort in both
directions.

Steering Angle Check

1. Place the front wheel on a turning radius measuring tool.

2. Turn the steering wheel to the its both ends and measure

the maximum steering angle.

 [Notice]

The difference between both sides should be within 0.6 kg.

 [Notice]

If the free play is out of the specified value, check and adjust
the toe-in.

Power Steering Gear Preload
Adjustment

1. Place the steering wheel at straight ahead direction.

2. Lift up the vehicle very carefully.

3. Remove the adjusting plug lock nut.

4. Measure the torque of adjusting plug.

5. If the measured torque is out of range, adjust it to the

specified value.

• Place the rack gear in center position.

• Tighten the adjusting plug by 100 kg.cm

• Turn the pinion gear to move the rack gear between

both ends by 5 times.

• Remove the adjusting plug.

• Tighten the adjusting plug by 45 ~ 55 kg.cm

• Release the adjusting plug by 67.5°.

6. Tighten the adjusting plug lock nut.
