This newly designed mechanism will be used in 2017 SAE SUPRA EVENT. Various systems were studied and a simple but very effective rack and pinion steering system was designed with the consideration of the driver. A steering mechanism is a mechanism that helps a vehicle to give direction, the normal standard steering systems available in the market are if ratio 16:1 which means for complete turn of vehicle the steering wheel must be rotated 4 times, a power steering overcomes the problem of rotation and does the full turn in 2 revolutions of steering wheel. As per the guidelines of the SAE SUPRA event power steering was not allowed, hence a need arise to manufacture a steering system that could take a full turn in half rotation of steering wheel, this was accomplished by using a rack and pinion steeri...
