2. Steering linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_linkage

   A steering linkage is the part of an automotive steering system that connects to the front wheels. [ 1 ] The steering linkage which connects the steering gearbox to the front wheels consists of a number of rods.

3. Drag link - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_link

   Steering system showing drag link. A drag link converts rotary motion from a crank arm, to a second bellcrank, usually in an automotive steering system.. While the origin of the term is not clear, it pre-dates the automobile, and is described as in use in 1849 as a means of rotating a Ducie cultivator being operated by cable by stationary steam engine (or between engines).

4. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

   Ackermann geometry. The Ackermann steering geometry (also called Ackermann's steering trapezium) [1] is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii.

5. Parallelogram steering linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_steering_linkage

   A parallelogram steering linkage is called such because like its namesake, the two sides of the linkage run parallel to each other and are equal in distance. This type of steering linkage uses four tie rods, one inner and one outer on each side (left and right) that are connected by an adjustment sleeve, a center link (which runs between the tie rods), an idler arm on the passenger side, and a ...

6. 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 ...

7. Dual pivot steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_pivot_steering_geometry

   Dual-pivot steering geometry (also known as virtual pivot) is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car designed to reduce or eliminate scrub radius by moving the pivot point of the king pin outboard, in order to improve steering precision and straight line stability.
