ABSTRACT:
According to an active front steering system (AFS) of the invention, an actuator assembly that receives steering input from a driver and AFS input from a motor is mounted to a gear box that reciprocates a rack bar connected to tie rods that are connected to wheels. Therefore, the entire size of the AFS is reduced and a decelerator that changes the steering ratio includes a single planetary gear that outputs final steering through rack bar after the steering input from the driver and the AFS input from motor are inputted across each other.
