Steering for SUV 4x4

Steering geometry may be quite different in type and complexity when it comes to off-road 4x4 vehicles. In off-road 4x4s, steering is much more complicated and reinforced to withstand heavy loads compared to steering of a standard road SUV. As we all know, 4x4 off-road vehicles are designed to operate in rough and rugged terrain, such as hills or forest land.

The system for raising off-road vehicles requires very complicated steering geometry to be changed. Some 4x4s use a hard steering axle. Servo and power steering pumps are critical to the function of the steering system for modern SUVs. Some 4x4s have a hydraulic system with performance improvements made after market.

Power hydraulic steering systems include: pump, hydraulic fluid reservoir, hydraulic hose, valve and hydraulic steering box. Hydraulic pumps and tank pumps are mounted in the engine of the 4x4. For safety reasons, all modern cars are equipped with a collapsible steering column, which disintegrates in the event of a severe frontal impact to avoid excessive injuries to the driver. In some older cars and SUVs, the wheel retracts during crashes.

This system is called procon-ten. In modern cars, it was replaced by the airbags. Steering is crucial in the management of a car or truck. So pay attention while driving and if you notice any problems please contact your nearest service center for diagnosis of the problem.
