What is the principle behind car steering?

[GenevieveLee]

Car steering principle mainly involves the steering wheel driving the steering gear, which then activates the rack and pinion steering mechanism. This causes the front tie rod to swing left and right, creating an angle in the front wheels to achieve the steering effect. The car steering system is used to maintain or change the direction of the car's movement or reverse direction. Below are some additional details: 1. The car steering system is crucial for driving safety, hence all its components are referred to as safety parts. 2. Both the car steering system and the braking system are two systems that must be given priority for car safety. 3. There are mainly 4 types of steering gears: Worm and peg type (WP type), Worm and roller type (WR type), Recirculating ball type (BS type), and Rack and pinion type (RP type). These four types of steering gears have been widely used in cars. 4. Due to the various advantages of the rack and pinion steering mechanism, its application in small vehicles (including small passenger cars, light trucks, or multipurpose vehicles) has seen rapid development; while large vehicles mainly use the recirculating ball type steering gear as their primary structure.
