Manual steering is a type of steering system and component used in vehicles that requires the driver to manually turn the steering wheel in order to control the direction of the vehicle. This type of steering system is typically found in older vehicles, as well as some smaller, more affordable vehicles. Manual steering systems are generally less expensive than power steering systems, and are often preferred by drivers who enjoy the feeling of having more control over their vehicle. Manual steering systems are composed of several components, including the steering wheel, steering column, steering box, and steering linkage. The steering wheel is the part of the system that the driver holds and turns in order to control the direction of the vehicle. The steering column is the part of the system that connects the steering wheel to the steering box. The steering box is the part of the system that converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion, which is then transferred to the steering linkage. The steering linkage is the part of the system that connects the steering box to the wheels of the vehicle. Some companies in the manual steering market include TRW Automotive, ZF Friedrichshafen, Nexteer Automotive, and ThyssenKrupp. Show Less Read more
