Speed sensitive power steering

[GeoffM]

How exactly does this work?
AFAIK, the steering wheel is connected to the rack via immovable gears. Immovable = non adjustable.
If they're fixed gears, how does the assist vary with speed?

I think the hydraulic pressure is moderated to assist in different vehicle speed.

For someone that so often to proclaims to possess great intelligence, you are awfully dumb.

I don't think this was not neces-celery.
Do you like celery? I do.

That makes a lot more sense. I had originally thought it somehow varied the gears. Ie, a quarter turn at 5 would be different than a quarter turn at 50.

You sir, are a generous douche

Are not am so can do mocking them am I me?

It seems like nobody in that thread knew where that came from.

[oyajicool]

I think it was from a movie or a tv show, long time ago.
Anyways, what do I know?
English is not my first tongue. At the same time, I'm losing my first one, being here in the US a long time.
Now, then, what am I speaking?

The power steering speed sensor (the VSS is mounted on top of the power steering speed sensor) is actually a gerotor pump. The power steering speed sensor works with the gain control valve and pressure control valve to reduce the pressure to the reaction plungers as vehicle speed increases, reducing the assist to the steering rack piston.
