    摘要: A center load rack and pinion steering mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism comprises a center load steering rack housing mounted to a vehicle frame, with a longitudinal slot through the front surface thereof, the slot being fitted with a bushing of a material that is resistant to damage from heat and bending. A pair of center link mounting bolts secure a center link and a center link pad to the rack wherein the center link pad extends through the bushing such that the upper and lower surfaces of the center link pad engage the upper and lower inner surfaces of the bushing, respectively, to prevent upward and downward movement and twisting of the center link and the center link pad relative to the rack in response to steered wheels of the vehicle contacting rough or uneven terrain while in use to prevent damage to components of the steering mechanism.

    摘要: A snowmobile has a steering system with a handlebar, the system having a steering post comprising an upwardly extending yoke attached to the handlebar, a tubular post portion unitary with the yoke, the tubular post portion attachable to the snowmobile frame, and a lower steering arm at the lower end of and unitary with the tubular post portion, the lower steering arm projecting at an angle downwardly, forwardly and to the right. The steering post is unitarily formed by forging, casting, metal injection molding or the like. A central bore extending through the steering post formed by machining, the pair of bearing surfaces on the steering post formed by machining, two upper yoke arms machined to receive a handlebar clamp and the handlebar. The steering system may include a pair of spacer members receivable by the yoke, the spacer members then receiving the handle bar for providing handlebar height adjustment.

    摘要: A vehicle steering system includes: a housing, and a clutch module including a first steering shaft, a steering assembly, and a drive mechanism. A part of the first steering shaft and the steering assembly are disposed in the housing. The steering assembly is configured to move between a coupling position and a decoupling position, is coupled with the first steering shaft at the coupling position and transmits a torque, and is decoupled from the first steering shaft at the decoupling position and stops the transmission of the torque. A transmission unloading mechanism is configured to unload a limiting force of the drive mechanism on the steering assembly when the steering assembly is at the coupling position, connect with the drive mechanism and the housing to enable the drive mechanism connects with the steering assembly, and drive the steering assembly to move between the coupling position and the decoupling position.

    摘要: A steering shaft for a motor vehicle may include a hollow outer shaft and an inner shaft. The hollow outer shaft may receive the inner shaft in a torque-transmitting manner and in an axially displaceable manner. An elastic boot may be connected to the inner shaft or the outer shaft. The steering shaft is protected against ingress of dirt and moisture and at the same time has a homogeneous displacement force and can be adjusted with low noise. The boot may be arranged at least partially within the steering shaft and may have a free end with a closed configuration.
