摘要: A right-hand drive vehicle steering system (10) that may be factory built or converted from a left-hand vice versa. The method of conversion begins with the removal components. designed gear is engaged to an adapter bracket (50). allows orientation remain same in installation as when installed drive. As result, pitman arm (18) directs wheel direction and outboard for applications, inboard applications. displacement column associated equipment further relative position operation through operating slot (51) spite location between frame rail (103). are mounted rail. pivotably connected drag link (19) turn (20). secured spindle (14) right side allow control movement wheel. driver (21) intermediate shaft (22).
