1. Steering Wheel Input:
When the driver turns the steering wheel, this action rotates a pinion gear within the steering box.

2. Gear Interaction:
The pinion gear engages with a straight rack gear (or sector gear) in conventional systems.
-
3. Power Assistance:
The hydraulic power steering pump provides fluid pressure to assist the gear box, making it easier to turn the wheels with less effort from the driver.

4. Linkage Movement:
The movement from the gears is transferred to a Pitman arm, which is connected to the vehicle’s steering linkage.
-
5. Wheel Steering:
The steering linkage then moves the wheels left or right, turning the vehicle.
