Abstract: A steering system for a motor vehicle having power steering means including an actuator for turning steerable road wheels of the motor vehicle includes a control mechanism for eliminating a deviation between a desired direction of travel of the motor vehicle and an actual direction of travel of the motor vehicle, based on an output signal from a direction indicating mechanism which indicates the desired direction and an output signal from a direction detecting mechanism which detects the actual direction. The control mechanism determines a target turning angle for the steerable road wheels dependent on the deviation between the desired direction and the actual direction, and controls the power steering mechanism to turn the steerable road wheels up to the target turning angle.

Abstract: A steering system for a vehicle having a steering wheel and front and rear wheels, including a front steering sub-system for steering the front wheels in accordance with the steering angle of the steering wheel and a rear steering sub-system for steering the rear wheels in the same and opposite directions with respect to the front wheels in accordance with the steering angle of the steering wheel. The steering system is provided with a rack and pinion type variable-ratio mechanism for varying the ratio of the steered angle of at least either of the front or rear wheels to the steering angle of the steering wheel in accordance with the magnitude of the steering angle of the steering wheel. The design freedom in setting a functional relation between the steering angle of the steering wheel and the turning curvature of the vehicle is thus maximized. Moreover, selective setting is permitted for change of ratio of the steered angle of the rear wheels to the steering angle in the vicinity of the initial position of the steering wheel. Further, there is permitted a favorable use of available vehicle dimensions to achieve an optimum feeling characteristic of steering operation.

Abstract: A steering system for front and rear wheels of a motor vehicle wherein the steering ratio of the rear wheels to the front wheels is variable dependent on the speed of the motor vehicle. The steering system includes a steering wheel, front wheels, a first assembly for steering the front wheels, rear wheels, a second assembly for steering the rear wheels, and a third assembly which transmits the direction and extent of steering of the front wheels to the second assembly, a fourth assembly controls the steering ratio between the front and rear wheels in response to a signal indicative of the speed of the motor vehicle or a signal related to the speed of the motor vehicle. Each of the rear wheels has a kingpin having a central line which has an extension which is positioned rearwardly of a point where a vertical line passing through the center of an axle of the rear wheel intersects the ground on which the motor vehicle is placed. The steering system provides a facilitated compensating operation of the steering wheel by increasing a reactive force against steering which allows the driver to return the steering wheel of its own accord without excessively turning the steering wheel upon vehicle deceleration, and reducing the reactive force to allow the driver to turn the steering wheel of its own accord upon vehicle acceleration.
