A flow divider for directing hydraulic fluid to separate hydraulic circuits, including a power steering gear which carries the divider, includes a pair of axially aligned valve spools disposed in a common bore of a valve housing. The valve spools and the bore have circumferential grooves which are in fluid communication with a source of pressurized fluid and the separate hydraulic circuits and the flow divider operates to divide the flow of pressurized fluid into two portions with a predetermined ratio between each portion and the total fluid flow.
