Most steering boxes are now variable ratio.
what is variable gear ratio steering steering system?
a ratio box is something to figure out stuff
Variable ratio (VR) steering means that the ratio between the steering wheel and the wheels (tires) is not constant. Depending on the position of the steering wheel the car wheels may be more or less sensitive to steering wheel rotation. Practically, when you drive straight (steering wheels in neutral position) the steering ratio is about 2 times higher compare to steering ration when you are parking (steering wheels is away from neutral position). Variable ratio rack and pinion is used in VR steering. It was originally invented in Australia and later improved in the USA. Variable ratio rack and pinion software is used for calculation of the complex tooth surface of the vr rack.
The complete steering box comes out the bottom, without steering wheel attached.
When removing steering box the steering wheel has to be removed steering shaft is not remove able it will have to slide down when steering box is removed ie then remove pit man arm and bolts from the frame
take the hoses off of it and unbolt the steering column from the box, pull the steering link arm off the bottom of the box and then unbolt the box from the frame and pull it out.
how do i dismantle a power steering gear box
The power steering box should not have pressure at the cap.
It is a device which both makes your steering wheel's output, "the pinion" connect with the "rack", a device which affects your front wheels forward angle. It also controls the ratio of steering wheel input to actual steering output. High performance cars will have a relatively low ratio steering ratio, meaning minor steering wheel input will dramatically affect steering output while ordinary passenger vehicles will have higher ratios requiring more steering wheel input to produce a similar amount of vehicle steering.

Locate the power steering gear box and drain the fluid. Locate the bolts and remove them. Pull the arm. Detach the steering wheel from the steering linkage. PullÊthe linkage until it dischargesÊfrom the gear box. Loosen the bolt on the gear box and remove the box.
