ABSTRACT:
A steering system for a wheeled vehicle having a steering linkage including a rack bar arranged between a pair of digirible road wheels to steer the road wheels in accordance with the driver's steering effort applied thereto, which comprises a lateral rod operatively connected in parallel with the rack bar for displacement therewith, and a single pneumatic cylinder arranged perpendicularly to the lateral rod and having a piston contained therein and a piston rod extending outwardly from the piston and being operatively connected to the lateral rod in such a manner that the piston is located in a stroke end and when the lateral rod is in a neutral position and that the piston rod is pulled in accordance with displacement of the lateral rod to increase an internal pressure in the pneumatic cylinder. The internal pressure in the pneumatic cylinder acts on the rack bar through the lateral rod as a reaction force against the driver's steering effort.
