Manual Steering: Description

Power steering system is composed of power steering pump and steering gear reservoirs. The ZF 61 and VT 61 pumps (190 series) are not interchangeable. Pumps are made of a light alloy material. Alloy pumps are interchangeable with the cast iron type.

Pumps are engine driven vane-type with a control valve and an automatic compensation for free-play in the steering gear.
