ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering system includes a single handgrip mounted adjacent the driver's seat for pivotal displacement in a laterally extending plane. Interconnection structure provides a motion transmitting train between the handgrip and suitable power-assisted steering components in the engine compartment to regulate steering of a vehicle's wheels as the handgrip is laterally pivoted. The interconnection structure may include a plurality of serially-connected rotatable shafts, power-steering fluid control valves directly actuated by the handgrip or electrical switches controlled directly by the handgrip to regulate power-steering fluid valves disposed in the engine compartment.
