kjgreen3 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Always wondered how assisted steering works, although this is a relatively simple system. I'm sure its workings is still relavant to modern vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Maybe relevant to land rovers, modern cars use rack and peanut steering, but the principal is the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although now I may need to find out how the control valve gets its feedback from a modern rack and pinion steering system. Wonder when landrovers got power assisted steering as my old series 2 didn't have it, felt like it did as it had a bout 5 inches of play in the steering wheel until it actually moved the vehicle. Very comical watching me drive that, twoing-froing all the time to keep it going in a straight line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
