Which measurement expresses the overall steering ratio?

  • A.The angle through which the road wheels turn for a given movement of the rack along its axis within the housing
  • B.Steering wheel movement divided by road wheel movement
  • C.The number of turns from lock to lock, which is a complete description of the ratio for any steering system
  • D.The rack travel

Answer: B

A ratio of sixteen to one means the steering wheel turns sixteen degrees for each degree at the road wheel. Turns lock to lock depends on the ratio and the available lock together, so it is related but not equivalent. Lower ratios give quicker steering and higher effort. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once.
