STEERING

INTRODUCTION

The steering system installed on TATA NANO is of

rack and pinion type which is simple, light and

responsive. When the steering wheel is turned, the

motion is transmitted to pinion through steering shaft

and universal joints. As the pinion teeth are meshed

with rack, the motion gets transferred to rack and

changed in to linear motion. Thus the steering turning

force is transmitted to steering knuckle through tie

rods which turns the wheels.
