VEHICLE WITH FOUR-WHEEL STEERING DEVICE

摘要

A vehicle with a four-wheel steering device includes a vehicle frame, a pair of front wheels, a pair of rear wheels, and a steering link mechanism for simultaneously steering the front wheels and the rear wheels. The steering link mechanism is mounted on the vehicle frame. A first propeller shaft extends from an engine disposed between the front wheels to a gear transmission disposed between the rear wheels. A second propeller shaft extends from the gear transmission to a differential disposed between the front wheels in substantially parallel relation to the first propeller shaft, the second propeller shaft being vertically spaced from the first propeller shaft. The steering link mechanism is disposed between the vertically spaced first and second propeller shafts. The steering link mechanism includes front tie rods disposed behind the engine and operatively coupled to the front wheels and rear tie rods disposed one on each side of the gear transmission and operatively coupled to the rear wheels.
