    Abstract: A steering gear for a vehicle chassis provides first and second steerable wheels journaled on first and second spindle members. The chassis is provided with first and second yoke structures, each of which has an upper arm and a lower arm. The arms of each yoke encompass portions of a separate one of the spindle members. The arms of the first yoke define upper and lower king pin mounting locations which lie along a common first axis. The arms of the second yoke define upper and lower king pin mounting locations which lie along a common second axis. A first pair of king pins are positioned in the mounting locations defined by the arms of the first yoke, and pivotally mount the first spindle member on the first yoke. A second pair of king pins are positioned in the mounting locations defined by the arms of the second yoke, and pivotally mount the second spindle member on the second yoke.
