ABSTRACT:
A steering device for a vehicle comprises a steering wheel operatively connected to dirigible wheels of the vehicle by way of a steering linkage so that the dirigible wheels are turned in response to rotation of the steering wheel. A portion of the steering linkage which is rotted with the steering wheel is divided into first and second parts and the first and second parts are connected with each other by way of a pair of coil springs and a damper. The coil springs are adapted to be elastically deformed to produce a rotational displacement between the first and second parts upon rotation of the steering wheel while the damper is adapted to damp the steering force of the steering wheel. An adjustment means is provided for changing the damping characteristics of the damper according to speed of the vehicle and/or the steering torque of the steering wheel.
