ABSTRACT:
A fluid power assist steering gear for steering a pair of steerable wheels of a vehicle includes a rack housing. A rack member is supported for axial movement in the rack housing. The rack member is connectable at axially opposite ends with a pair of tie rods associated with the steerable wheels of the vehicle. A plurality of rack teeth are formed on the rack member. A rotatable pinion gear is in meshing engagement with the rack teeth on the rack member. A fluid motor moves the rack member to provide steering power assist. The fluid motor comprises a piston fixed to the housing. First and second members are fixed to the rack member on the sides of the piston. The first and second members are movable with the rack member when pressurized fluid is directed into a space between the piston and one of the first and second members.
