<p>PURPOSE:To improve the assembling property to a car by arranging a linkage member connecting a steering force to the input member of a rear wheel steering system near the side sill of a car body in a device steering both front wheels and rear wheels by the steering operation of a steering wheel. CONSTITUTION:When a steering shaft 2 is rotated by the steering operation of a steering wheel 1, a rotating force is extracted on a pitman shaft 24 and a gear shaft 35 respectively through a gear box 20, and as a result of the rotation of the pitman shaft 24 a knuckle arm 12 is rotated through a pitman arm 4, a connecting rod 5 and a tie rod 11 to steer front wheels 14. In addition, rear wheels 54 are steered by the rotation of the gear shaft 33 through an offset arm 34, a linkage link 35, etc. In this case, the linkage link 35 is arranged along the vicinity of the side sill on the right side of a car body, and the front end of an input link 41 is connected to the rear end of the link 35 through a ball joint 36. Then, the rear end of the link 41 is connected to a knuckle arm 52.</p> |
