        copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
Steering column
coupler
  Steering column couplers allow pivot
   points in the column
  Like a universal joint
  Loose or worn couplers will result in a
   loose steering feel, vibration, noise, or
   sticky steering feel

Impact
 If the vehicle is involved in a front impact,
  always inspect the steering column and
  wheel
 Squeaking, chirping or rubbing sounds
  indicate damage
 Catching, binding and play indicate
  damage
 Especially if the airbag deploys!
                copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
Steering ratio
  Steering ratio is a measurement of how many turns of
   the steering wheel it takes to go from a full lock to the
   other full lock
  Basically how many turns from all the way left to all the
   way right
  Also measured from the center (straight) to a full lock
   turn
  Fast ratio is 3 turns lock to lock
  Slow is about 4 or 5 times lock to lock
  15:1 ratio – wheels move 15deg for 1 deg of steering
   wheel movement
                      copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
Variable ratio steering

4 wheel steering

  Used by some manufacturers to aid
   handling
  Front wheels do most of the steering
  At low speeds, rear wheels steer
   opposite front to tighten turning radius
  At high speeds, rear wheels turn with
   front to improve handling and cornering

                copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
4 wheel steering

  Can be hydraulic or electric
  Front steering is usually “normal” power
   steering
  Rear wheel steering can be driven
   hydraulically or by electric motor

  • 12. Impact  If the vehicle is involved in a front impact, always inspect the steering column and wheel  Squeaking, chirping or rubbing sounds indicate damage  Catching, binding and play indicate damage  Especially if the airbag deploys! copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
  • 13. Steering ratio  Steering ratio is a measurement of how many turns of the steering wheel it takes to go from a full lock to the other full lock  Basically how many turns from all the way left to all the way right  Also measured from the center (straight) to a full lock turn  Fast ratio is 3 turns lock to lock  Slow is about 4 or 5 times lock to lock  15:1 ratio – wheels move 15deg for 1 deg of steering wheel movement copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
  • 14. Variable ratio steering copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
  • 15. Steering gear systems  Recirculating ball  Rack and pinion  Power assist  Electronic assist copyright 2011 - eric jaromin
