ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering linkage includes an intermediate tube which extends across the vehicle between the steerable wheels of the vehicle. The intermediate tube transmits steering force from one steerable wheel of the vehicle to the steerable wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle. The ends of the intermediate tube are internally threaded and receive externally threaded portions of other parts of the vehicle steering linkage. A clamp placed around each threaded connection is tightened to prevent relative rotation between the threadedly interconnected parts. A plurality of retaining rings swaged on the intermediate tube locate the clamps axially on the intermediate tube. When the clamps are not tightened they can rotate freely on the intermediate tube between the retaining rings.
