<p>A steering system in an all-terrain four-wheeled vehicle with independent suspension wherein necessary forces for steering control is supplied by fluid pressure or electrical actuators (631, 641) mounted parallel to the suspension arm between vehicle frame and wheel control arm, steering control by the driver being by manipulation of right and/or left steering levers (671, 673) eliminating the need of steering wheel and steering column in front of the driver. The steering actuators (631, 641) are independent and there is no linkage for coordinating their turning angles; rather, close coordination of the wheel turning angles for achieving the turning angle relation between the wheels is by a non-linear linkage or by a computer control (660) for electric actuators whereby the actuators are provided with separate signals with the non-linear relation to achieve the desired relation between the steering angles of the wheels (613, 615).</p> |
