2. Tolerance ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance_ring

   To secure the shaft and housing of the steering column in place during normal driving conditions, a tolerance ring is fitted between the two parts. The tolerance ring is designed to axially slip at a predetermined torque level, enabling the shaft to slide inside its housing in a crash, absorbing impact energy to protect the driver.

3. Rag joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag_joint

   They provide a small amount of flex for a steering shaft within a few degrees of the same plane as the steering gear input shaft. [1] It also provides some damping of vibration coming from the steering system, [2] providing some isolation for the steering wheel. [3] This type of joint has also been used on drive shafts. [4]

4. Rod end bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_end_bearing

   A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (N. America) or rose joint (U.K. and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links , tie rods , or anywhere a precision articulating joint is required, and where a clevis end (which requires perfect 90-degree alignment between the ...

5. Ball joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint

   In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles, and are used on virtually every automobile made. [1] They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most tetrapod animals. [2] A ball joint consists of a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casing; all these parts are ...

6. 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.

7. Steering knuckle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_knuckle

   In a drive suspension, the knuckle has no spindle, but rather has a hub into which is affixed the bearings and shaft of the drive mechanism. The end of the drive mechanism would then have the necessary mounting studs for the wheel/tire and/or brake assembly. Therefore, the wheel assembly would rotate as the drive shaft (or half-shaft) dictates.
