2. Power steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

   Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...

3. Steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

   A Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) uses hydraulic pressure supplied by an engine-driven pump to assist the motion of turning the steering wheel. Electric Power Steering (EPS) is more efficient than hydraulic power-steering, since the electric power-steering motor only needs to provide assistance when the steering wheel is turned, whereas the ...

4. Recirculating ball - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_ball

   The recirculating ball steering mechanism contains a worm gear inside a block with a threaded hole in it; this block has gear teeth cut into the outside to engage the sector shaft (also called a sector gear) which moves the Pitman arm. The steering wheel connects to a shaft, which rotates the worm gear inside of the block.

5. DIRAVI - Wikipedia

   Diravi also hydrostatically "locks" the road wheels to the angle chosen at the steering wheel forces upon the road wheels cannot influence the steering (whether the geometry be neutral or otherwise) Diravi is a solution, based on DS steering, which makes parking maneuvers effortless, yet ensures precision in all situations, enabling sharp ...

6. Active steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_steering

   Active steering describes a type of power electric variable gear ratio power steering technology introduced by BMW in 2003 first appearing on the redesigned 5 Series which varies the degree that the wheels turn in response to the steering wheel. At lower speeds, this technology reduces the amount that the steering wheel must be turned ...

7. Steering linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_linkage

   The steering linkage which connects the steering gearbox to the front wheels consists of a number of rods. These rods are connected with a socket arrangement similar to a ball joint, called a tie rod end, allowing the linkage to move back and forth freely so that the steering effort will not interfere with the vehicles up-and-down motion as the ...
