A rack and pinion power steering gear assembly, in which the power steering ECU, power steering motor, rotation angle sensor, steering torque sensor and reduction mechanism are integrated, is used.
The rack and pinion power steering gear assembly is installed to the FR frame crossmember sub-assembly at 4 points on 2WD models and at 3 points on AWD models, ensuring steering rigidity.
