Automotive steering systems are essential components that allow drivers to control the direction of their vehicles. These systems typically consist of a steering wheel, a steering column, and a series of linkages that connect to the wheels. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the movement is transmitted through these components, enabling the vehicle to change direction. There are two main types of steering systems: manual steering and power steering. Manual steering relies solely on the driver's strength to turn the wheels, while power steering uses hydraulic or electric assistance to make steering easier. This technology enhances driving comfort and improves vehicle handling.
