Steering system is the system which provides directional change in the performance of an automobile. This system converts rotary movement of the steering wheel into angular movement of the front wheels. It multiplies driver’s effort by mechanical advantage, enabling him to turn the wheels easily. The Davis gear mechanism consists of a cross link sliding parallel to another link is connected to the stub axles of the two front wheels by means of two similar bell crank levers pivoted. The cross link slides in slides in the bearing and carries pins at its end. The slide blocks are pivoted on these pins and move with the turning of bell crank levers as the steering wheel is when the vehicle is running straight, the gear said to in its mid-position. The short arms are inclined an angle 90+α to their stub axles. The correct steering depends upon a suitable selection of cross-arm angle α.
