KS00003399 Bosch hydraulic steering gear

This part basically takes the turning motion from your steering wheel and translates it into the movement that turns your wheels. It uses hydraulic pressure – fluid power – to help you steer. It’s not the pump itself, but the gear uses the pressure the pump creates. It’s a pretty complex mechanism with a lot of moving parts inside, including a valve, piston, and gears, all working together. It’s responsible for assisting you in making turns, especially at lower speeds. Think of it as the crucial link between what you want the wheels to do and what they actually do. You turn the wheel, it directs the hydraulic fluid to the steering cylinders near the wheels, and that’s what pushes them to turn. It's a core part of your steering system, working with the pump, hoses, and other components. It's usually located under the vehicle, connected to the steering linkage. Well, without this, steering would be incredibly difficult, especially in bigger vehicles. It acts like a shield against the effort needed to turn the wheels. You’ll notice if it starts to go bad because steering will become hard, jerky, or even loose. You might feel play in the steering wheel, or hear noises when you turn. It's a safety item, really. If it fails completely, you could lose the ability to steer, so it's important to address any issues promptly. You can find replacement parts for these at places like Fixparts Online if you’re thinking about tackling the repair yourself, but it can be a pretty involved job, so it’s often best left to a professional. Year-round reliability: Hydraulic Steering Gear (MPN KS00003399) includes a 12-month warranty!
