What is the purpose of the steering gear?
To convert the rotational movement of the steering wheel, into linear movement at the wheel.
When you are reversing your Honda Odyssey the steering go the opposite direction?
Yes, and with all cars. It is based on rotational steering.
What is the slight rotational oscillation of the steering wheel when driving on road surfaces?
A steering wheel oscillation is an indication of a bad tire or bent rim.
What causes a new power steering pump to go ad on a new ford focus?
Did it go left or right........ or straight ahead? It's usually the driver's interaction with the steering wheel that causes it.
Will a car still drive if the steering gear box needs to be welded back on?
In short, probably not for long, and definitely not safely. In long, the steering gearbox needs to be mounted to the frame so it can remain static while it translates the rotational motion of your steering shaft into the left-to-right motion of your tie rods and wheels. However, if you've ever tried to turn the steering wheel without the aid of power steering, you'll know that there is a fairly large amount of force needed to turn the wheels. So, you'd probably want your steering gearbox mounted solidly.
Where can one find more information about the function of ballscrews?
The main function of a ballscrew is to lower friction by making it a rotational movement. Ballscrews are used in aircraft, machine tools and in car power steering systems.
What is the rack and pinion in rack and pinion steering?
A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinion engages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion (by the steering wheel) will cause the rack to move to one side or the other, right up to the limit of its travel. The rack and pinion arrangement is commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or other wheeled, steered vehicles. This arrangement provides a lesser mechanical advantage than other mechanisms such as recirculating ball, but much less backlash and greater feedback, or steering "feel". If you guessed that rack and pinion steering is used on race cars, you'd be correct. Use the links below to see some diagrams. A picture is definitely worth a thousand words in this case.
What is the purpose of using shockers in a car?
A so-called shock absorber in a car does not in fact do much to absorb shocks - try running over a speed bar and you'll soon find out. The shock absorber in fact does its most useful work by damping out the oscillations that would otherwise persist in the springs after crossing a bump. And this is the simple test as to whether the shocks are still working - just bounce the car down on its springs, and see how many bounces occur before the motion stops. It should certainly stop bouncing before three oscillations. These unwanted oscillations would otherwise interfere with the wheel balance and steering, and certainly do affect the braking effort.
How steering wheel control operates the volume of audio system of car?
This means that your power steering pump is putting excess load on your engine and slowing the RPMs. This then results in the alternator not being able to keep a 12v constant power source for the stereo, resulting in an inconsistent audio quality. Check your power steering fluid, and have your voltage regulator tested.
What are the physics behind the race cars turning on the track?
Centripetal force, pointing towards the center of the circle that the driver would make were he to continue turning by the same amount at the same speed, is caused by the change in angular momentum resulting from the change in direction of the car's velocity which is controlled via a mechanical and electrical system that transfers the rotational energy from the steering wheel to the tires, whos sizes and pressures have been predetermined to maximize the balance between friction and energy loss caused from their motion and temperature.
Where is the power steering cap to top up fluid on a Skoda fabia 2002 model?
AnswerThe power steering top up tank is unbelieveably located under the battery. You have to take the battery out and the battery compartment and disconnect some ducting to get at it, which probably why some servicers don't bother to check it, resulting in expensive problems later.

Were do you put the power steering fluid at in a Saturn ion2007?
You don't. Saturn Ion's don't have a normal hydraulic power steering system. There is no need for power steering fluid period. Saturn Ions instead use an electric power steering system which uses a small electric motor to provide steering assistance. An electric power steering system takes stress off the engine, resulting in better fuel economy and better performance. If you are having issues with the power steering, take it to any GM dealer (Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC) and they'll be able to fix it. GM was known for having problems with the electric power steering on these cars (and Chevy Cobalt's, HHR's, Malibu's, and Pontiac G5's as well). As a result, GM extended the warranty on the power steering systems for these cars to 10 years or 100,000 miles.
