NOTE
• Some parts in the power steering gear case cannot be disassembled or adjusted. For detailed
information, refer to the description of “Steering Gear Case Construction”.
• All steering gear fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one
of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.
• Although the figures in this section show only the left-hand steering vehicle, the same work
procedure and data apply to the right-hand steering vehicle.
General Description
P/S System Construction
S6JB0B6301001
The power steering (P/S) system in this vehicle reduces the driver’s effort needed in turning the steering wheel by
utilizing the hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering (P/S) pump (2) which is driven by the engine.
It is an integral type with the rack and pinion gears and the control valve unit, hydraulic pressure cylinder unit all built in
the steering gear case (1).

Steering Gear Case Construction
S6JB0B6301002
The steering gear case consists of two sections: one including a cylinder and the other a valve. Main components of
the cylinder section are a gear case (7), a rack (8) and a tube and those of the valve section are a valve case (10), a
sleeve (4) and a stub shaft (2). The sleeve is linked with the pinion (6) through a pin (1) and the valve and stub shaft
are integrated into one unit. Then the pinion and the stub shaft are linked to each other by means of the torsion bar (3).
Thus, when the stub shaft moves, the valve changes its position, thereby switching the hydraulic passage from the
pump to the cylinder to help steering operation.
When turning the steering wheel feels heavy due to P/S fluid leakage or for some other reason (i.e., when in the
manual steering mode), the stub shaft and pinion are in direct linkage and the force is output directly through the
pinion and rack.
P/S Pump Construction
S6JB0B6301003
The power steering pump is a vane type and is driven by the V-ribbed belt from the crankshaft.
Power steering (P/S) pump specifications
Flow Control Valve (Relief Valve)
As the discharge rate of the P/S pump increases in proportion to the pump revolution speed, a flow control valve is
added to control it so that the optimum amount of fluid for steering operation is supplied according to the engine speed
(driving condition).
