Re: '09 Challenger R/T Gathered Specs / Equipment & Info Related
According to a very reliable/accurate information provider and ALLPAR member :

Let's talk about the power steering system in the Challenger, specifically in the R/T manual version...
"Thanks to the variable displacement mechanism and the relief valve, a sharp cut of the power consumption of the power steering oil pump is realized. By using a variable displacement vane pump for the automotive power steering system, it will be able to save fuel and eliminate the oil cooling system, as oil temperature does not increase when compared to a conventional pump, due to a non surplus flow..." - SAE.org
Any Allparians out there know much about "Variable Displacement Power Steering" systems? I know the technology has been around for awhile, but has Chrysler ever used it in any of their vehicles?
