GF46.25-P-0001CW Rack-and-pinion steering, overall system, function
- except CODE (213) Speed-sensative power steering

Component Identification:

The steering wheel's rotary motion is converted into horizontal movement through the steering gear rack-and-pinion steering.

The rack-and-pinion steering gear has a constant gear ratio, i.e. the tooth pitch is identical across the entire toothed rack.

Steering assistance is executed hydraulically by a belt driven power steering pump.

The steering assistance is regulated by the rack-and-pinion steering gear itself.

To cool the power steering fluid an oil cooler in the form of a coiled pipe is installed immediately upstream of the A/C system's condenser. The oil cooler version depends on the engine mounted in each particular vehicle.
