MK472377
Power Steering Oil Pump Assembly
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Power Steering Oil Pump Assembly is a crucial component in a truck's power steering system. It is responsible for supplying pressurized fluid to the steering gear, which allows the driver to easily steer the vehicle. The MK472377 model is a specific part number used in certain trucks. It consists of various components such as the pump body, rotor, vanes, and relief valve. The pump body houses all of these parts and is driven by the engine through a pulley and belt system. As the rotor rotates, it creates a vacuum and draws fluid into the pump. The vanes then compress and discharge the fluid at high pressure through the outlet port to power the steering gear. The relief valve ensures that pressure does not exceed safe operating levels. Regular maintenance of this assembly is important to ensure proper functioning of the power steering system and avoid potential safety hazards on the road.
