There is a gear rack in the steering gearbox, each end of the threaded rack is connected to steering rods, which transmit control forces to the front wheels.
The power steering system consists of an oil pump, an expansion tank and a pipeline. The steering column is safety and compresses upon impact.
For better cooling of the hydraulic fluid, some engines are equipped with an additional cooling pipe between the steering gear housing and the reservoir.
