Delphi Power Recirculating-ball Steering Gears

Delphi Power Recirculating-ball Steering Gears provide directional control of a vehicle. An open-centered, rotary-type valve provides smooth operation throughout the steering range while retaining excellent road feel. The integral rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a rotation force that moves the steering linkage left or right. The steering system and hydraulic fluid also act as a cushion to help absorb road shocks. They are suitable for light-duty trucks, sport-utility vehicles, and vans.
