  • Patent number: 4702333
    Abstract: A steering apparatus for a motor vehicle has a steering gear connected to a first set of vehicle wheels, and a selectable auxiliary steering gear connected to a second set of wheels. The steering gear for the first wheel set is connected to a steering wheel and includes a hydraulic servo mechanism which provides steering assistance to the steering gear when the force required to turn the steering wheel exceeds a predetermined limit. A hydraulic pressure transmitting device is attached to the gear output of the steering gear and is hydraulically connected to the auxiliary steering gear. The pressure transmitting device transmits hydraulic pressure to the auxiliary steering gear, when auxiliary steering is selected, which varies in correspondence with movements of the gear output of the steering gear and which is independent of the pressure supplied to the hydraulic servo mechanism.
