The rotary motion of the
steering wheel transfers through the following components:
|     •  | The steering upper shaft | 
 
The pitman arm attaches to the center link. As the pitman arm rotates,
the center link moves linearly, actuating the right tie rod and the left tie
  rod. The right tie rod and the left tie rod turn the wheels   right or left
  through the steering knuckles. The  steering system is   designed for the
 following  purposes:
|     •  | Excellent steering reaction | 
 
|     •  | Reliable self-restoring action |
