ABSTRACT:
Steering apparatus is provided for a vehicle which has a steering axle assembly which is movable between a first position at which the turning radius in a first direction of the vehicle is at a preselected minimum value, a second position at which the turning radius of the vehicle is infinite, and a third position at which the turning radius in a second direction of the vehicle is at a preselected minimum value. The second position is intermediate the first and third positions. The steering apparatus controls the turning radius of the vehicle in response to a predetermined operational rate by automatically restricting the movement of the steering axle assembly towards the first and third positions while leaving the steering axle assembly free for movement towards the second position.
