ABSTRACT:
A steering axle includes a reversible axle beam assembleable with a pair of steering knuckle assemblies in one orientation providing a first range of maximum steering angles and in a second, reversed orientation providing a second range of maximum steering angles. The axle beam includes an elongated structure with two ends, each adapted to carry a steering knuckle assembly that is pivotably rotatable about a steering axis by a steering arm. Each end of the axle beam includes a pair of stops formed integrally therewith. The two stops within each pair are disposed across the longitudinal centerline of the axle from each other and at two distinct distances along the axle beam.
