PURPOSE:To eliminate the difference between the inputs to the shafts of a steering gear having a right and a left universal joints different from each other in the angle of connection between a right and a left drive shafts and the axles of a right and a left front wheels, by arranging the box of the steering gear obliquely. CONSTITUTION:Drive shafts 3R, 3L different in length are coupled to the right and left output shafts of a differential gear 1 through universal joints 2R, 2L. The axles 5R, 5L of a right and a left front wheels 6R, 6L are coupled to the ends of the drive shafts 3R, 3L through universal joints 4R, 4L different in angle. The box 10 of a steering gear is arranged obliquely. The angle alphaL between a shaft 9 and a tie rod 8L located at the universal joint 4L of larger angle is made more than that alphar between a shaft 9 and a tie rod 8R located at the universal joint 4R of smaller angle. As a result, the difference between the inputs to the right and left shafts of the steering gear is eliminated. |
