Power Steering System

The power steering system is a closed loop system. The power steering system consists of the following four major components:
- The power steering fluid reservoir.
- The power steering pump.
- The steering gear.
- The power steering fluid cooling pipe.
The power steering fluid is drawn from the power steering fluid reservoir by the power steering pump via the reservoir hose. The power steering pump, being the primary fluid mover, pressurizes and moves the fluid through the system. The pump discharges through the gear inlet hose, which transports the pressurized fluid to the steering gear. After exiting the steering gear via the gear outlet hose, the fluid is cooled by going through a fluid cooling pipe located in the front of the vehicle behind the front fascia. Upon exiting the cooling pipe, the fluid returns to the reservoir.
