ABSTRACT:
A steering compensator for connection to the steering system of a vehicle at a location between a steerable member and a reduction gear so as to provide a resistance force preventing substantial movement of the steerable member away from a preselected position until the steering force generated on the low ratio side of the reduction gear exceeds a predetermined value. A return assembly provides a return force continuously biasing the steerable member toward its preselected position during its movement through a predetermined distance to either side thereof. A trim mechanism may be provided to remotely vary the preselected position of the steerable member. Other optional features include a fluid system for preventing movement of the steerable member until the steering force exceeds the return force by a preselected differential force, a variable fluid resistance to steerable member movement, and components for controllably varying the resistance force, differential force and/or return force.
