2. Ball joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint

   A typical ball joint with cutaway view (right) An inner tie rod end cut open to expose the 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 ...

3. 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. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   The wheel rate is calculated by taking the square of the ratio (0.5625) times the spring rate, thus obtaining 281.25 lbs/inch (49.25 N/mm). The ratio is squared because it has two effects on the wheel rate: it applies to both the force and the distance traveled. Wheel rate on independent suspension is fairly straightforward.

6. Kingpin (automotive part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part)

   The steering kingpin is held in place by the forked ends of a beam axle on a Ford Model T. The kingpin (also king-pin, king pin and k pin) [1] [2] is the main pivot in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle. The term is also used to refer to part of a fifth wheel coupling apparatus for a semi and its trailer or other load.

7. Pitman arm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitman_arm

   In automotive or truck steering systems, the Pitman arm acts as a linkage attached to the steering box (see recirculating ball) sector shaft, [1] it converts the angular motion of the sector shaft into the linear motion needed to steer the wheels. The arm is supported by the sector shaft and supports the drag link or center link with a ball ...
