This chapter determines the best valve assembly design within the hydraulic power‐steering assist system to yield improved steering effort and discusses robustness for all vehicle models in the future truck program. The methodology utilized was not only multifaceted with several design of experiments (DOEs), but also took advantage of a computer‐aided engineering (CAE)‐based approach leveraging modeling capabilities in ADAMS for simulating full‐vehicle, on‐center handling behavior. The chapter investigates 13 control factors to determine which factors and settings minimized a realistic, compounded noise strategy while also considering the ideal steering effort function (SEF) desired by the customer. It was also found that a certain ideal SEF was indeed desired by the customer when determined in conjunction with other key vehicle performance parameters, and that steering effort robustness, though also important, was nearly an order of magnitude lower in value to the customer in terms of dollars they would spend.
