Abstract

Steering mechanism is very essential for any road vehicle. The commonly used mechanism for steering is the Ackermann mechanism. The perfect steering demands that the extensions of the axes of the two front wheels intersect at a point on the extension of the common rear wheel axis. The Ackermann mechanism does not give perfect steering always. In this paper, an attempt is made to arrive at optimum dimensions of the links of the mechanism which make the error in steering minimum.
