Power Steering Gear Box for Lexus LX450 FJ80 FZJ80 Toyota Land Cruiser 1990-1997

Category:
A Power Steering Gear Box for a 1990-1997 Lexus LX450/Toyota Land Cruiser is a mechanical component that translates the steering wheel’s input into movement of the vehicle’s front wheels, assisted by hydraulic power to reduce the physical effort required from the driver. It contains internal gears that direct movement to the steering linkage, allowing for precise control and better handling, especially on challenging terrain. This part is essential for the vehicle’s overall steering system, providing amplification and direction for the steering action.
 

How it Works
  1. 1. Steering Wheel Input:

    When the driver turns the steering wheel, this action rotates a pinion gear within the steering box. 

  2. 2. Gear Interaction:

    The pinion gear engages with a straight rack gear (or sector gear) in conventional systems. 

  3. 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. 4. Linkage Movement:

    The movement from the gears is transferred to a Pitman arm, which is connected to the vehicle’s steering linkage. 

  5. 5. Wheel Steering:

    The steering linkage then moves the wheels left or right, turning the vehicle. 

Key Features & Importance
  • Steering Ratio:

    The gear box maintains the same steering ratio as the original equipment (OEM) to ensure consistent vehicle handling. 

  • Durability:

    Quality steering gear boxes are engineered for superior durability and a long service life. 

  • Fitment:

    It is designed as a direct replacement for the 1990-1997 Lexus LX450 and Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80/FZJ80 models. 

  • Control & Handling:
    This component is crucial for optimal handling and precise steering response, particularly important for off-road use and general driving.
