ABSTRACT:
A power steering system, which is disposed in the forward part of a vehicle, allows an electric motor to boost the steering torque applied by a driver, and transmits the steering torque to wheels via a steering transmission mechanism. The power steering system includes an impact detection device that detects the impact of an object on a rack housing that houses a rack bar constituting the steering transmission mechanism to detect the impact on the power steering system more accurately.
