DESCRIPTION

The power steering system fitted to all vehicles in the 167 range enables the effort required to turn the steering wheel to be reduced when maneuvering at low speeds and keeps the steering steady at high speeds. The composition of the steering column, articulated in two parts ensures greater passive safety in the event of a frontal impact. The system is composed of a pump (1) directly powered by the engine through a belt. The pump, drawing fluid from from the reservoir (3) (located in the engine compartment) through the delivery hose (2) sends it under pressure through hose (6) to the distribution valve located on the steering box (5). The distribution valve, connected by hose (4) to the reservoir permits the fluid to return in output from the operating cylinder to the reservoir itself.
