Power Steering System Components
Power Steering Servo Valves
For all applications
Made for installation at any convenient point in the steering column OR directly onto the rack and pinion, the Woodward servo is the only
type where the amount of power assist (light, medium, heavy, etc.) can be tuned to suit the drivers preference by means of a system of inter-
changeable torsion bars. The bars control the sensitivity of the power steering response and can be switched in the field without disassembly of the
servo. A second revolutionary feature allows external adjustment of the left-to-right balance of the power steering. This is not possible with any
other race car steering system. The Woodward servo allows it to be done right in the car, using nothing but a 5/32 or 4 mm Allen wrench in the
two adjusting screws. Absolutely no OEM or salvage parts of any kind are used to make these servos; all components are made in our own plant.
STANDARD SERVO is a light, compact valve for systems where the
working pressure will not exceed 1200 PSI (85 bars).Track proven
since 1996. The world standard for high fow in a small space. Available
in two valve profles and all T-bar sizes.

HIGH LOAD SERVO has a thicker case and revised porting for severe
conditions in oval track and off-road racing. Designed for working
pressures up to 2350 PSI (160 bars). Available in two valve profles
and all T-bar sizes.

VALVE TORSION BARS can be changed out to adjust the
response curve of your servo. Smaller bars increase the
response; larger bars decrease it. Made of spring tempered
alloy steel, the bar is anchored at one end and adjusted for
centering or directional bias at the other end using the set
screws. O-rings are included.

Power Steering System Components
The cutaway view below shows the four large ball bearings that support the valve and isolate it from mechanical steering loads. Large ducts
within the Woodward distribution spool replace the series of small holes used in the stock spools used by all other manufacturers. The Woodward
design produces quicker response with lower restriction and lower operating temperature.

Recent Developments
The VA900 series servo incorporates several changes from the VA800.
Most obvious are the large tapered ports which increase its flow capacity by
reducing turbulence. At right is shown the top half of a VA900 servo case with
a valve spool actually in place, in its normal installed position relative to the
port openings. You can see that the fluid path is unobstructed all the way into
the channels of the spool. A 900 servo is capable of filling a large diameter
cylinder at velocities well beyond the quickest race car steering and in most
applications will allow 5W-40 engine oil to be used as the hydraulic medium.
The exhaust port of the 900 servo is enlarged to -8 hose size. This ef-
fectively relieves back pressure from the return side of the circuit, further
improving the sensitivity of the steering while reducing the buildup of waste
heat. All existing Woodward reservoirs have removable hose adapters which can
easily be swapped out to accommodate the large return hose from a 900 servo.
Originally developed to meet military requirements, the 900 series
will handle the severe hydraulic shocks of off-road applications involving air
time, collisions with boulders, etc., that would occasionally burst the case of
an 800 servo. This makes it especially suitable for the high working pressures
demanded by current popular oval track setups which gain positive caster in
a roll attitude.
As described in the Rack and Pinion section, the servo does not need to
be attached to the rack itself in order to function; it can be located anywhere
along the steering column, provided its connecting path to the pinion is free of
mechanical play. Moreover, it is not even necessary to bolt it down, provided
either its input or output end is rigidly coupled into the steering shaft so as
to form an extension of it. The valve operates internally and does not depend
on external restraint.
Because its four ball bearings isolate the valve from outside mechanical
loads, the servo can reliably be used as a support point for the steering shaft by
bolting it to the chassis and connecting it to the shaft with u-joints.
Repair parts and seal kits are shown at the end of this section. A more
detailed discussion of power steering, including performance data and service
instructions, appears in the Power Steering System Tech section.
SERVO BRACKET holds the servo by its thick billet end caps, preventing outside
loads from distorting the case. Gold zinc plated. Includes six 10-24 x 1/2 socket
head cap screws with lock washers.

Power Steering Reservoirs
High fow, de-aerating design
With a quick-steering rack, the performance of the reservoir is critically
important in preventing fluid starvation and loss of power steering. In a typi-
cal aftermarket reservoir, returning fluid creates turbulence, which pulls air
bubbles below the surface, which are then drawn into the pump intake. Air
in the fluid makes it compressible, which causes hard steering and hydraulic
jitter, and promotes overheating.

Fittings
In this dual-chamber design, the
return stream is tangent to the tank wall,
creating a centrifuge effect to remove
air bubbles. The freed air escapes at the
top of the outer chamber through bleed
holes leading to the inner chamber. The
bleed holes point downward to prevent
hot oil spray when the lid is removed. A
-6 fitting is used with the 800 servo, and
a -8 with the 900 servo.
Farther down in the tank, the spin
of the oil is arrested as it is drawn through
a flow-straightening baffle by the pump
suction. The pump draws from the inner
chamber which is free of turbulence. In
fact, the flow is so clean that the surface
of the liquid cannot be seen to move with
the engine running.
The outlet fitting is available for
either -10 and -12 hose, and both are
contoured for minimum flow restriction.

High Pressure Hose
PTFE core, stainless braid, soft cover
Woodward Power Racks are now equipped with a new -6
hose rated for 2000 PSI working pressure. This hose replaces
our former cloth-covered 1500 PSI hydraulic hose and its reus-
able type ends (shown at right for comparison).
IMPORTANT: There are many different brands of hose
and reusable hose ends now in circulation, most of which are
mutually incompatible. Because it can be difficult to tell them
apart, racers in a hurry have been known to create mismatched
hose assemblies from spare components. These may appear cor-
rect but can come apart under pressure. To prevent accidental
mismatched field assemblies, WE USE ONLY PERMANENT
CRIMP-TYPE ENDS ON OUR HPB6 PRESSURE HOSE.
Although this hose conforms to the nominal standard
dimensions of -6 stainless-braid PTFE hose, it also has an
abrasion-reducing fabric cover. The cover precludes the use
of screw-on ends (the kind with a brass olive) which are in-
tended only for uncovered stainless braid. Permanent ends are
the ONLY type approved for use with this hose. Crimp tooling
data will be made available to qualified hose shops on request.

Low Profle Banjo Fittings
Fit directly on -6 o-ring ports
Woodward has developed the first banjo fitting that uti-
lizes the proven and convenient SAE/AN o-ring port. The banjo
seals with o-rings top and bottom instead of metal compression
washers, and they will seal hydraulic pressure with the same
moderate torque as any other o-ring hose adapter. This prevents
stripping the threads from aluminum ports. The banjo body and
bolt are made from high-tensile steel to allow a thinner wall
and greater flow cross-section.
The Woodward banjo fitting is available both as a perma-
nent crimp type hose end or as a -6 male AN/JIC hose adapter.
Note: a hose with two banjos should always have at least one
of the adapter type to avoid twisting the hose.
As shown below, a banjo has the lowest profile of any
right-angled fluid connection. These will clear any port boss
which is flush with the surrounding surface, such as the ports
on most servos. The ports on GE150B and C cylinder castings are
recessed and require 90 degree adapters or 90 degree hose ends.

Power Steering Pumps
Belt or direct drive
The KRC power steering pumps in this catalog use inter-
changeable output fittings. This feature allows the mechanic to
fine-tune the pump volume to match the quickness of the steering.
KRC race car pumps are made to precision tolerances and will pro-
duce a remarkably constant volume over the entire RPM range of
the engine. This constant volume can be over 3 GPM for dirt and
off-road racing, down to less than 1.5 GPM for pavement and road
racing, depending on the fitting installed. These pumps are available
in two specific displacements, 7.2 cc and 9.6 cc per revolution. In
general, the 7.2 cc pump is used for pavement racing and the 9.6
cc for dirt. More specifically, we recommend the 9.6 pump for racks
3.14 and quicker. Graphs of pump output vs. RPM using different
flow fittings are shown in the Power Steering System Tech section.
To cope with the increased loads that current chassis setups
place on the steering system, all KRC pumps are now factory-
equipped with a 1450 PSI relief valve setting, with 1600 PSI avail-
able as an option. This provides extra power on demand without
altering the baseline system pressure or preventing useful feedback
to the driver.
There are several choices for drive systems. The more posi-
tive the better, since even 5% slippage will mean lost power steer-
ing. Also, the drive ratio should keep the pump itself above 800
RPM. Although pumps mounted on the back of the dry-sump pump
are positively driven, such systems run at only 55% engine speed,
which means they can slow to the point of losing suction during
corner entry on dirt and momentarily stalling the power assist.
In these installations it is critical to use a high-displacement pump,
with an efficient supply hose routed so as to prevent air traps. An
extra-capacity intake fitting is available to convert the supply hose
to -12 size. For a more detailed discussion of pump issues, refer to
Power Steering System Tech.

Pump mounting brackets
Although it may seem relatively low-tech, many racers are discovering that
the most cost-effective and trouble-free setup is a block-mounted pump with a single
V-belt driving it independently of the water pump and fan so as to avoid slippage from
conflicting loads. Turning the pump at 70-80% engine speed gives reliable performance
even at a low idle. The FB15 mounting bracket developed by Brian Birkhofer utilizes
the two front engine-mount bolts on a small-block Chevy and aligns the pulley perfectly
for an independent drive belt. This bracket lets you position the pump with the intake
underneath so theres no high spot to form an air lock. The hole and slot are machined
to accept Delphi pumps as well as KRC pumps, and bolts are supplied for both types.

Custom Dual Cylinders
Rally and Off-road
Built to individual requirements of length and
stroke, these have 1.38 pistons and heavy-duty .875
diameter hard chromed piston rods drilled full length
for weight reduction. They are intended for installa-
tion directly from fixed hardpoints on the chassis out
to the movable arms on the spindles or hub carriers.
Their large effective piston area when used in cross-
connected pairs makes them an excellent packaging
solution for heavy off-road vehicles with short pivot
centers. For use with the 900 series servo.
Power Steering Fluid
Petroleum Base, non-synthetic
The continuing introduction of aggressive chemicals into power steering (and au-
tomatic transmission) fluids in recent years has created compatibility issues with many
proven seal elastomers. For example, the nitrile compound Buna N, the most resilient and
extrusion-resistant seal material ever developed (for example, after 75 years its still used
for the o-rings in AN fittings) is subject to shrinkage and embrittlement from contact with
most synthetic fluids. Contrary to their advertising, performance aftermarket synthetics
and semi-synthetics are NOT universally suitable for all power steering systems, and in many
cases will prove actively destructive. So-called anti-foaming agents (usually just a thick-
ener whose supposed foam-suppressing action consists of keeping the air bubbles suspended
in the oilexactly where you dont want them) are another ingredient best avoided. Some
other additives, such as those sold to restore power steering, will cause Buna N seals to
lose their durometer hardness and swell beyond their dimensional tolerances. While that may
help a 72 Buick, it is guaranteed to cause rough steering in a race car with a four-inch rack.
The only medium recommended for use in our systems is petroleum (OIL). Within this
category there are numerous options, but for specific service in Woodward power steering
this fluid is compatible with all elastomers and nonmetallic materials used in our systems,
and with all hydraulic hoses. It contains no silicones, no phosphate esters...and no purple
dye. It does have a good combination of lubricity, chemical stability, thermal diffusion, and
de-aerating properties which make it unsurpassed for use in Woodward-equipped race cars.
Note: THIS CANNOT BE SHIPPED BY AIR.
Power Steering Cooler
Clamp-on installation
Cars with streamlined bodywork which excludes air
circulation from under the hood often need help extracting heat
from the steering hydraulics. This heat exchanger is machined
with very thin cooling fins and is also black anodized to pro-
mote black-body radiation and prevent efficiency-destroying
corrosion. Its large internal cross-section enables it to be used
in a fairly long return line without adding restriction or back
pressure. It is supplied with both -6 and -8 hose adapters.
The assembly is a mechanically rigid unit and
does not require any mounting provision welded to
the chassis. The example shown can be easily clamped
to any 1-1/2 inch chassis tube, such as the down
tube ahead of the radiator, and rotated for best ex-
posure to clean air. For maximum efficiency the unit
should be placed square to the airstream so that air
will flow past both finned elements simultaneously.

published in the catalog descriptions, but the fact is,
neither push-lock hose nor black neoprene hose cov-
ered with stainless braid (the kind with the red and
blue ends) contains any reinforcement against collapse
from suction. While this type of hose may work on the
scavenge side of a dry sump, it will NOT stand up to
quick power steering in a race car. A typical supply
hose failure occurs as follows:
As fluid heats up it softens the rubber and the
hose begins to close down from pump suction. At
this point the pump begins to starve and the power
steering starts to feel heavy. Soon the pump begins
to cavitate, which creates yet more heat, until the
now-limp hose is sucked completely shut and the
power steering disappears or locks up. The heat-
ing and collapsing process takes about 7 laps. Two or
three cycles of this will destroy the internal sealing
sufaces of the pump.
Sometimes the hose will suck shut and lock
up the steering only during quick steering move-
ments. Troubleshooting this can be difficult because
a newer hose will often spring back to shape after
cooling off. This not only conceals the fault from a vi-
sual inspection, but after the system has cooled down
the power steering will be restored. This is a dead
giveaway that the problem lies with the fluid supply,
because its the only problem that appears to fix
itself. This all-too-common form of power steering
failure can be avoided by using a vacuum-rated hose.
