When driving straight ahead (steering wheel in center position) the rotary valve of the rotary slide shift valve is in the neutral position.

The control grooves of the rotary valve and the pilot bushing are interdependent to the extent that the oil flow, as supplied by the power steering pump, is routed straight back over the return flow to the reservoir. The working cylinders are therefore unpressurized.

The stabilizer bar is pinned on one side with the rotary valve and on the other side with the drive pinion
