STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE
id061300245700
Purpose/ Function
• The rotational movement input from the intermediate shaft is converted to a linear movement in the horizontal direction of the steering rack by the rack and pinion mechanism, and then transmitted to the tires and wheels.
Construction
• A size and weight-reduced rack and pinion system steering gear has been adopted.
• The quick steering gear ratio (2WD:14.2 / 4WD:15.5) enhances the vehicle responsiveness to the driver's steering operations.

Operation
• The rotational movement input from the steering shaft is converted to a linear movement in the horizontal direction of the steering rack by engaging the pinion shaft connected to the steering shaft and teeth of the steering rack. This linear movement is transmitted via the inner and outer ball joints to the steering knuckle to steer the tires left or right.
Fail-safe
• Function not equipped.
