Steering apparatus for four-wheeled vehicle

摘要

A steering apparatus for a four-wheeled vehicle transmits a steering force through a steering shaft, a reduction gear mechanism, a steering lever and right and left tie rods to right and left knuckles. The reduction gear mechanism includes a pinion gear turned by the steering shaft, and steering gear engaged with the pinion gear mounted on a lever shaft. The pinion gear and the steering gear are cut in a taper and both of the gears are press-engaged together in an axial direction by a spring so that no backlash is formed between the pinion gear and the steering gear.
