steering systemACKERMAN  STEERING  MECHANISM:-

Figure shows the schymatical layout of Ackerman Steering Mechanism, 

It consist of...

1.wheel.

2.stub axle.

3.axel beam.

4.king pin.

5.adjuster.

6.tie red.

7.rack and pinion gear.

8.steering column.

9.steering wheel.

OPERATION:

1.During operation (at the time of taking turn), driver rotates the steering wheel due to which pinion mounted on the end of steering column also start to rotate, because of steering column. 

2.The rotary motion of pinion is converted into the linear motion of the rod by using rack.

3.Because of the linear motion of tie rod, stub axle start to oscillate.

4.Hence , the wheels are turns in desire direction.
