What Connects the Steering Gear and the Steering Knuckle Arm?
1 Answers
What connects the steering gear and the steering knuckle arm is the steering linkage rod. Below is an introduction to the steering knuckle arm: 1. Introduction: The steering knuckle arm, also known as the trapezoidal arm, is the final force-transmitting component in the steering linkage system. It is mounted on the left and right steering knuckles, with the other end connected to the tie rod via a ball joint. 2. Function: When the vehicle is turning, the driver applies a steering torque to the steering wheel. This torque is transmitted through the steering column, drive shaft, and steering gear, amplified by the steering gear, and then passed to the steering arm. From there, it is transmitted via the steering drag link to the steering knuckle and the steering knuckle arm on the steering knuckle, ultimately reaching the hub to turn the wheels. This illustrates the structural requirements of the steering knuckle arm, which serves to connect the drag link and the hub and enables steering functionality. 3. Precautions: On a solid front axle, the steering knuckle near the steering wheel side has two arms, connected to the longitudinal and transverse tie rods, respectively. The other side of the steering knuckle has only one arm connected via the transverse tie rod.
