Abstract
A vehicle system has a steering circuit which includes a steering actuator supplied with pressurize fluid from a pressure source to turn an associated vehicle wheel to the left or right in response to the movement of the steering wheel. A feedback circuit is provided which includes a steering motor connected with the steering wheel and supplied with pressurized fluid via an electronically controlled feedback control valve means in response to signals received from a control unit to generate a steering feedback force acting on the steering wheel.
