Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for adding steering capability to a rear driven or non-driven axle is described. The invention utilizes many of the existing rear axle components, such as the upper control arm, lower control arm and knuckle. A gimbal is added to connect the lower control arm with the frame. A tie rod, or a slot and cam system, connects the lower control arm with at least one actuator to selectively turn the knuckle.
