Steering Flutter Symptoms And Malfunction Causes
Steering flutter is a condition in which the steering wheel oscillates 5 to 15 times per second in the direction of the turn. It occurs at relatively limited but high speeds; generally more than 80 km/h Read more Steering Flutter Symptoms And Malfunction Causes
What is Tilt Steering Mechanism?
1. Description
The tilt steering mechanism allows selection of the steering wheel position (in the vertical direction) to match the driver’s driving posture. The tilt steering mechanisms are classified Read more What is Tilt Steering Mechanism?
Suspension and Steering Camber
The front wheels of the car are installed with their tops tilted outward or inward. This is called “camber” and is measured in degrees of tilt from the vertical. When the top of a wheel is tilted outward, Read more Suspension and Steering Camber

2. Construction
The telescopic mechanism consists Read more What is Telescopic Mechanism?
Caster and Caster Trail
Caster is the forward or backward tilt of the steering axis. Caster is measured in degrees from the steering axis to vertical as viewed from the side. Backward tilt from the vertical line is called “positive Read more Caster and Caster Trail
The idea of New PPS (Progressive Power Steering)
1. Description
The new PPS(Progressive Power Steering) varies, the steering operation effort in accordance with the vehicle speed. The steering effort is lighter at low speed and heavier at high speed.

What is Steering Linkage?
1. Description
A steering linkage is a combination of the rods and arms that transmit the movement of the steering gear to the left and right front wheels. The steering linkage must accurately transmit Read more What is Steering Linkage?
