A vehicular steering system including a steering wheel, a front wheel steering mechanism for steering a front wheel according to steering amounts of the steering wheel, and a rear wheel steering mechanism for steering a rear wheel according to such steering amounts in the same direction as that of the front wheel when such steering amounts are relatively small and in a direction opposite to the steering direction of the front wheel when such steering amounts are relatively large. The rear wheel steering mechanism includes a crank member connected to the steering wheel, a movable member connected to the crank member, a restriction mechanism for restraining the movable member and permitting the latter to perform only restricted movements along a predetermined pattern, and an output mechanism interconnecting the movable member and the rear wheel for effecting the steering of the rear wheel according to components of motion in a predetermined direction of such restricted movements. The steering system is capable of steering front and rear wheels in the same direction in response to relatively small steering amounts of a steering wheel and in opposite directions in response to relatively large steering amounts of the steering wheel, and is provided in a compact construction. |
