Power Steering System

The power steering pump is a vane-type pump which provides hydraulic pressure for the system. The power steering system consists of the following components:
^ The driveshaft
^ The pump housing
^ The pump ring
^ The pressure plate
^ The thrust plate
^ The flow control valve
^ The rotor
^ The vanes

The opening at the rear of the pump housing contains the following components:
^ The pump ring
^ The pressure plate
^ The thrust plate
^ The rotor
^ The vanes
^ The end plate

The small opening on the side of the housing contains the following components:
^ The pressure line fitting
^ The flow control valve
^ The spring

The flow control orifice is a component of the pressure line fitting. A pressure relief valve inside the flow control valve limits the pump pressure.
