TM 9-2320-360-20-1 1-16.  STEERING SYSTEM The steering system uses two steering axles, one at the front (No.  1) (1) and one at the rear (No.  4) (2).  Each axle turns in response to turning the steering wheel (3) in the cab. Steering power is generated by a steering pump (4) driven directly at the engine providing pressure to two steering gears (5), one at each steering axle.  The steering pump delivers fluid to enable the operator to turn the wheels of a fully-loaded truck.  An interconnected series of shaft linkages rotate with hydraulic power assist to turn the two axles.  In the event of main steering system failure, an auxiliary steering pump (5.1) connected to the transfer case provides power steering. As the steering wheel is turned, the rotational motion of the upper steering assembly shafts (6) is translated at a tee gear box  (7)  below  the  cab  to  both  the  front  and  rear  power  steering  gears  (8).    A  steering  reduction  gear  (8.1)  reduces  the steering  angle  on  axle  no.    4.    The  steering  gears  multiply  the  rotational  force  to  a  pair  of  drag  links  (9)  and  four  axle steering arms that apply directional motion to turn the axles. In  the  event  a  steering  line  (10)  to  no.    4  steering  axle  is  severed  or  fluid  leaks  from  the  system  (Power  steering  is inoperable.), the truck can be steered for short distances in emergency situations.
