International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 52, No. 1/2/3/4, 2010

Abstract: In the literature, mostly theoretical information and definitions on the steering system and components are found. In this study, a design map guiding the design of a complete steering system of a bus is given for design engineers. Design changes for an existing steering system are made by performing geometrical analysis, solid modelling and strength analysis of the parts. Some of the designed parts are manufactured and some of them are supplied from vendors to construct the steering system of the vehicle. The steering system is tested in the field under various testing conditions. The test results indicated an improvement in the performance of the designed steering system.
