Steering Systems Key Terms

answers contain no spaces or dashes
Horizontales
A torque sensor that converts steering torque input and direction into voltage signals for the power steering control module (PSCM) to monitor. Also a steering angle or position sensor, it converts the rotation speed and direction into voltage signals for the PSCM to monitor.
rack-and-pinion steering system A steering assembly composed of a pinion gear, meshed rack, and associated linkage. When the steering wheel is turned, movement is transferred by the steering column shaft to the pinion gear.
A device used to measure the load on the steering wheel.
The undesired condition produced when hitting a bump, where the vehicle darts to one side as the steering linkage is pushed or pulled as a result of the travel of the suspension.
Any device that controls another object, such as a computer.
he assembly that converts the rotary motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion of the steering linkage.
A suspension system in which one set of wheels is connected laterally by a single beam or shaft.
The resistance to a change in motion.
The vehicle component that transmits the driver’s steering effort from the steering wheel down to the steering gearbox, usually made to collapse during a crash.
Verticales
A steel rod that transfers movement from the drag link to an idler arm.
A pivotable part that attaches between the suspension system and the steering system and that contains the wheel hub or spindle assembly.
A hydraulic pump that provides assistance to the driver when turning the steering wheel.
A device used to prevent shocks from irregular roads from being transmitted through the steering linkage and back to the steering wheel.
A non–rack-and-pinion system that uses a series of parts, consisting of the pitman arm, idler arm, center link, and tie-rod assemblies to relay movement from the steering gearbox to the wheel assembly.
A special rotary electrical connector located between the steering wheel and the steering column that maintains a constant electrical connection with the wiring system while the vehicle’s steering wheel is being turned.
An arm that extends from the steering knuckle. The tie-rod ends connect to these arms in order to steer the wheels.
An option on a vehicle that allows movement of the steering wheel with decreased driver effort.
A steel rod, which may contain one or more flexible joints, positioned at an angle from the steering column to the steering gearbox that functions in transferring movement from one to the other.
The relationship between two gears in mesh as a comparison to input versus output.
The main support frame in a vehicle. It includes the running gear, such as the suspension, the engine, and the drivetrain.
A steel or iron rod that transfers movement of the pitman arm to a relay lever.
Ridges or teeth on a shaft that mesh with grooves in a mating piece and transfer torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them.
