    The document discusses the steering system selection for a racing vehicle. It considers rack and pinion steering, recirculating steering, and mechanical linkage systems. Rack and pinion steering was selected due to its advantages of being easy to operate, having free play contact between the rack and pinion, being compact with less space requirements, not needing idler arms or intermediate rods, being economical and easy to manufacture, allowing adjustment of the steering ratio, and scoring highest in a selection matrix evaluating weight, ease of operation, cost, free play, and manufacturability. The rack and pinion steering is compact and easy to operate with free play contact between the rack and pinion, making it suitable for the racing vehicle.

    Steering System
    Abstract: - The Steering system has been chosen by considering the need of racing track and swift
    turning of our vehicle.
    Introduction: - Like most things in a car, the concept of steering is simple - you turn the steering
    wheel, the front wheels turn accordingly, and the car changes direction. The steering of our vehicle
    is arranged so that the front wheels will roll truly without any lateral slip. The front wheels are
    supported on front axle so that they can swing to the left or right for steering. This movement is
    produced by gearing and linkage between the steering wheel in front of the driver & the steering
    knuckle or wheel.
    Selection of Steering System: - The various steering systems in consideration are: Rack and Pinion
    steering, Recirculating Steering and Mechanical linkage system. To select

    the steering system for our vehicle, the steering department studied the applications, advantages and
    disadvantages of various steering system. On the basis of this study, the matrix is constructed to
    select the steering system as per requirement:
    Advantages of rack and pinion of over other steering system: It is easy to operate.
    The Contact between steering rack and pinion is free of play.
    It is compact i.e. require less space
    The idler arm (including bearing) and the intermediate rod are no longer needed.
    It is economical and uncomplicated to manufacture.
    It is easy to limit steering rack travel and therefore the steering angle.
    In this, we can change the steering ratio according to our desire like 12:1, 7:1, 10:1 etc
