ABSTRACT:
The outer ball joint end of a tie rod in a vehicle steering mechanism is connected to the frustoconical swivelably adjustable joint of a steering knuckle arm by an offset connector. Such connector positions the axis of the steering knuckle arm frustoconical joint offset from the diameter of the tie rod end ball joint which is parallel to such steering knuckel arm frustoconical joint axis. Swivel adjustment of the connector relative to the steering knuckle arm shifts orbitally such diameter of the tie rod ball joint relative to the axis of the steering knuckle arm frustoconical joint so as to alter the effective angle of the steering knuckle arm relative to the wheel spindle for appropriately varying the toe-out of the front vehicle wheels during turns to avoid or minimize sliding or skidding of the front wheel tires when the vehicle is turning.
