Magnasteer (Tm) Power Steering System

The Magnasteer TM system is a speed-dependent power steering system. The system provides power assist at varying levels depending on need. A bi-directional magnetic rotary actuator in the steering gear adjusts the amount of torque Driver effort) necessary to turn the steering wheel. The Magnasteer (TM) module, located on the multi-use bracket at the left-hand shroud, varies this torque by adjusting the current flow through the actuator. The amount of adjustment will be directly related to vehicle speed. The module receives speed-related input signals from the vehicle speed sensor.
