NOTE

SUSPENSION AND STEERING SYSTEM.

The steering system in a vehicle is responsible for controlling the direction of movement by allowing the driver to turn the wheels. Its primary functions include:

  1. Direction Control: Enables the driver to steer the vehicle left or right to follow desired paths or negotiate turns.
  2. Stability: Helps maintain stability and balance by ensuring proper alignment and responsiveness to driver input.
  3. Maneuverability: Facilitates smooth and precise handling, allowing the vehicle to navigate through various driving conditions.

Components of the steering system

Components of a typical steering system include:

  1. Steering Wheel: Provides the interface for the driver to input steering commands.
  2. Steering Column: Transmits the steering input from the steering wheel to the steering mechanism.
  3. Steering Gearbox: Converts the rotational motion from the steering column into lateral movement to turn the wheels.
  4. Steering Linkage: Consists of various components such as tie rods, pitman arms, and idler arms that transmit motion from the gearbox to the wheels.
  5. Steering Knuckles: Connects the wheels to the steering linkage and allows them to pivot for steering.
  6. Power Steering Pump (in power steering systems): Assists the driver in steering effort by using hydraulic or electric power to amplify steering input.
  7. Steering Fluid Reservoir and Hoses (in power steering systems): Stores hydraulic fluid and routes it to the power steering pump for assistance.
