ABSTRACT:
A steering axle for a vehicle, such as a lift truck, has a frame for supporting the king pins and steering knuckles for mounting the steering wheels to the vehicle. A power steering actuator, such as a hydraulic cylinder, has a rod connected to said knuckles for turning the wheels upon demand. The cylinder is carried by the frame in a manner to permit the cylinder to move in response to changes in loading on the vehicle frame through the ability of the cylinder to translate vertically in response to said loading.
