The main steering element is a rack and pinion gear and a hydraulic booster. The steering shaft consists of two parts connected by a cardan garnish. Tie rods transmit force through the tie rod ends and steering knuckles to the front wheels. The steering wheel is tilt adjustable.
The tubular oil heat exchanger for cooling the hydraulic power steering fluid is located at the radiator level on vehicles with gasoline engines, and on the left under the cylinder block on vehicles with diesel engines.
