Abstract: A vehicle steering system includes a steer detection apparatus configured to detect a steered position of a steer wheel assembly relative to a steer axle. The steered position corresponds to a direction of turn of a vehicle. A brake actuator is configured to actuate a braking system of the vehicle, and the braking system is configured to brake a first drive wheel assembly independently from a second drive wheel assembly mounted to a drive axle. The first drive wheel assembly is located on a side of the vehicle corresponding to the direction of turn. The system further includes a linkage assembly operatively coupling the steer detection apparatus to the brake actuator. In response to the steered position detected by the steer detection apparatus, the brake actuator actuates the braking system to brake the first drive wheel assembly.
