2. Torque steer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_steer

   Have both driveshafts be of equal length by using an intermediate shaft (or "lay shaft") on one side of the transmission. This is already implemented on most modern cars. [4] When the driveshafts have different length and excessive torque is applied, the longer half shaft flexes more than the shorter one. However, this is a short-term transient ...

3. Rag joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag_joint

   An older vehicle with loose steering or "play in the steering wheel" is often found to have a worn rag joint. One can reach inside the cab and wiggle the steering wheel while watching the rag joint move without the input shaft moving. This condition may cause the vehicle to fail the vehicle inspection, indicating that the worn part needs ...

4. Steering column - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_column

   A steering column may also perform the following secondary functions: energy dissipation management in the event of a frontal collision; provide mounting for: the multi-function switch, column lock, column wiring, column shroud(s), transmission gear selector, gauges or other instruments as well as the electro motor and gear units found in EPAS and SbW systems;

   Nissan is recalling more than 236,000 small cars in the U.S. because the tie rods in front suspension can bend and break, possibly causing drivers to lose steering control. Tie rods help vehicles ...

6. Torsional vibration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsional_vibration

   Torsional vibration is the angular vibration of an object - commonly a shaft - along its axis of rotation. Torsional vibration is often a concern in power transmission systems using rotating shafts or couplings, where it can cause failures if not controlled. A second effect of torsional vibrations applies to passenger cars.

7. Tank steering systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_steering_systems

   However, in this case two complete differentials are used, one for each track, and the idlers are controlled not by a brake, but a second power shaft, the steering shaft. [2] Normally the steering shaft is connected to the engine directly, instead of the output from the transmission. This means it spins at a relatively narrow range of RPM ...
