The following is a visual breakdown of the components used to create this very effective rear steer system.

Also note that the new rear steer axle system can be fitted with the SKL axle, allowing fitment to vehicles with low gear boxes and exhaust systems.

This box controls all the electronic signals to the axle.

This is the manual On/Off switch for the steer axle, and it also displays the condition of the axle and system to the driver.

Note: This switch assembly will fit any aperture.

This holds the oil for the rear steer hydraulic system.

Controls hydraulic supply to the axle.

This steers the rear axle left and right, comes complete with a built in rear sensor and axle centering device.

Only runs when pressure drops below 30 bar.

Disposable front sensor, unaffected by the weather. This device fits to the drop arm on the steering column.
