•

The span for attachment of the steering gear to
the supporting rigidity is increased.

•

The power steering gear bracket is added to the
left side of the section where the steering gear is
attached to the crossmember. This enhances the
steering feel and reduces shimmy vibration, in
conjunction with the rubber bushing (designed to
be soft in the lateral vehicle direction and rigid in
the vertical plane) at the power steering gear
bracket point of attachment.

(MAX and MIN lines) which lets you check the fluid level visu-
ally.
Rubber mount at the point of attachment to body is used to
insulate groan noise from oil pump.
