GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Hydraulic Power Steering reduces the
driver’s effort needed to turn the steering wheel. This
is achieved by utilizing the hydraulic pressure gener-
ated by the hydraulic pump which is driven by the
engine.
The power steering offers the following ad-
vantages:-
•
Reduces steering effort and driver fatigue
•
Provides precise steering control.
•
Absorbs steering shocks, hydraulically preventing
them from being transmitted to the steering
wheel.
•
Provides absolute control and greater safety,
quickly & effortlessly in demanding emergencies
like sudden tyre failures or vehicle pull due to
malfunctioning brakes.
