ABSTRACT:
A control valve for booster power steering has a back pressure check valve openable by pressure caused by wheel jolting, which check valve connects between a servopump pressure passage of the control valve through the inner bore of a valve sleeve operable within a housing bore to the inlet of a metering pump. Such valve ensures that the steering is "closed" under all circumstances including during steering to prevent pressure jolts being transmitted from the vehicle wheels due to road roughness. However, after completion of a steering operation high pressure can build up within the valve sleeve causing expansion of the valve sleeve and jamming within the housing bore, making operation difficult. Accordingly, a pressure limiting valve is provided connected to relieve the pressure within the valve sleeve bore.
