steering systems

Steering systems enable a vehicle to change direction by transferring the driver's input from the steering wheel to the wheels. When you turn the wheel, it adjusts a series of components—like gears, linkages, or hydraulic/power-assisted mechanisms—that manipulate the angle of the front (or sometimes rear) wheels. This coordination ensures precise control and stability, allowing the driver to navigate curves and maintain a desired path. Modern systems can include electronic controls (drive-by-wire) for enhanced sensitivity and safety, but the fundamental purpose remains guiding the vehicle smoothly and accurately according to the driver's intent.
