ABSTRACT:
A vehicular steering system which includes a steering wheel, front wheels and a steering mechanism therefor, and rear wheels and a steering mechanism therefor, the front and rear wheel steering mechanisms serving to steer both the front and rear wheels by operation of the steering wheel. The steering system is provided with a front wheel steering system connecting the steering wheel with the front wheels through the front wheel steering mechanism, a connection path connecting the front wheel steering mechanism with the rear wheel steering mechanism, a rear wheel steering system connecting the steering wheel with the rear wheels through the connection path and the rear wheel steering mechanism, and an auxiliary power mechanism connected to the connection path so as to assist steering operation of the steering wheel. The steering system provides for reduction in the steering torque appropriately in response to a resultant force of an external force acting on the front wheels from the road surface plus an external force acting on the rear wheels from the road surface at the time of steering operation for both wheels. The connection path of the system is arranged above lower vehicle members such as an exhaust pipe and a fuel tank, so that such members protect the connection path from damage.
