Steering system is one of the leading systems in automotive engineering.
it allows us to determine the direction that the vehicle is guided to the left or
to the right nor vertical.
Steering system in a vehicle suspension
system is closely related to, the
front axle (front axle) and the vehicle
frame. Mostly dependent
on each other.
Steering system allows the driver to steer the vehicle either to the left or to the right. Front wheel plays an important role in the process of directing the course of this vehicle.

Steering
system consists of
steering gear, steering wheel and steering
circuit.
Network connector
is steering linkage
system, wheels, tubes
and levers used to transfer the movement of the
steering gear to the joints of the front
wheel.
Steering gear is the tool that makes the gear shift effect of grain by the driver to the linker for the rules governing the vehicles.
There are two types of steering system:-
- Manual
- Power Steering
Steering system failure will only cause accidents. Service quality steering is calculated from the ratio of how this can guarantee the safety of the steering wheel the driver and passengers.
Vehicles can be controlled either by the direction of the front wheel or rear wheel. By the rear wheel steering control is more easily done if the driver is at the back also, such as a fork lift, electric car and many others.

Vehicles can be controlled either by the direction of the front wheel or rear wheel. By the rear wheel steering control is more easily done if the driver is at the back also, such as a fork lift, electric car and many others.
But however the steering on the front wheel is more easily
controlled. Among the members of
which there is a
front engine, rear-drive.
This type of structure
separating the steering system with drive
systems. The most popular use today is the front
engine and front
steering.
This
system unites drive
system with steering system. There is also a rear engine and front wheel only serves
to control steering only.
In particular the steering function is to:
1. Allow the driver to control the movement with precision.
2. Controlling the direction of moving vehicles with high power levels over the minimum driving time.
3. Return the steering wheel to its original position by itself after cornering.
As such the steering system must be lightweight and easy to handle and do not move to the beat of the road steering wheel.
Steering system has four key elements:
1. Steering Wheel - controlled by the driver
2. Steering shaft - connect and deliver steering wheel movements to the steering gear.
3. Steering Gear - convert the movement round the lateral movement.
4. Assembled steering - steering gear box connects to book joints and steering wheel.
