    Steering system

    The steering system is a set of mechanisms whose purpose is to orient the front wheels
    so that the driver can guide the vehicle effortlessly. The steering system converts the
    rotation of the steering wheel into a rotary motion of the wheels, such that the tire
    makes a large turn to move the wheels for a short distance. Pita (sf) states: “The
    steering effort is transferred to the wheels through a system of pivoting joints. These are
    designed to allow the wheels to move up and down with the suspension without
    changing the steering angle.”(p.1).

    Illustration 1.- Steering system

    The steering system is made up of a series of elements that work as follows: the
    driver controls the trajectory of the car by means of the steering wheel, which will
    activate the steering bar, which is responsible for connecting it to the steering box. The
    box can be of various types, such as rack, worm gear, ball steering, hydraulic steering,
    etc.

    Types of steering systems

    Worm gear system.- Found in heavy vehicles, buses and trucks, it consists of spheres
    that facilitate movement by smoothing it out. It has a large screw that rotates on itself to
    move the gears inside a box with valves.
    Illustration 2.- Worm gear system

    Rack system.- It has a pinion that turns right or left on the rail or rack.

    Illustration 3.- Rack system

    Power steering system.- The power steering system uses hydraulic power to provide
    assistance. This works through a pump that transmits more force to the steering wheel
    for each turn thanks to the liquid that is sent to the rack through the tubes and hoses of
    the circuit, thanks to it it is not necessary to use as much force to turn and/or maneuver the
    steering wheel when driving.
    Illustration 4.- Hydraulic or power steering system

    Parts that make up the address

    Steering wheel.- Allows the driver to steer the wheels. The steering wheel is the part
    of the steering system that is manipulated by the driver, generating turning actions.

    Illustration 5.- Steering wheel

    Steering column.- It is generally cylindrical within which the steering shaft rotates.
    The steering column is usually made of a steel tube. The steering column has a height
    adjuster for every driver's taste.
    Illustration 6.- Steering column

    Steering box.- Reduction system that minimizes the driver's effort.

    Illustration 7.- Steering box

    Axial (arm).- It is located at the output of the steering box and sends its movement to
    the remaining steering elements.

    Illustration 8.- Axial (arm)

    Steering rod.- The rod is a rigid compression metal element formed by two ball
    joints, one at each end, generally threaded, allowing movement in all directions. This
    element actively contributes to the entire steering process.
    Illustration 9.- Steering rod

    Tie rod.- Its function is to make it possible for the wheels to turn at the same time.

    Illustration 10.- Tie rod

    Ball joints.- They are used to join various steering elements and make it possible for
    them to move in the desired direction even when they are separated.

    Illustration 11.- Patellas


    Steering knuckle.- The suspension elements, tires and steering system are joined
    together in the steering knuckle.

    Illustration 12.- Spindle

    The steering system is an axial system of the vehicle since without this the vehicle
    still works. The steering system ensures that the movement of the vehicle occurs more
    easily so that the driver can steer the vehicle.

    The steering system consists of the steering wheel, steering column, steering box,
    axle, steering rod, tie rod, ball joints and knuckles. These parts are used for its function
    to occur.
