Chevy Impala Steering Valves, Relays, Sensors & Connectors

Although there is a wide variety of hydraulic power system designs, their operation is based on largely the same principles. Essentially, there is a valve one way or another connected to the steering shaft. With the shaft rotating in one direction, the valve lets the liquid under pressure to act on the piston from one side. With the shaft rotating in the opposite direction, the valve opens the opposite section of the mechanism acting from other side. In many modern automobiles, the operation is supported by electronics – sensor, actuator, and control module, performing this function in a more accurate way and enabling change of the system setup.

In such a system, however, all parts have to be free from damages, as the malfunction of even the smallest component can result in breakdown of the entire power steering system.
