Abstract: In a motor vehicle steering systm, the two tie rods are fastened by means of resilient tie rod bushings onto a support element of the steering gear. A piston and cylinder unit connected to the braking system presses the tie rod bushings apart when the brakes are actuated and thus moves the tie rods outward, so that the steered wheels move to a toed-in position.

Abstract: An upper mount for a steerable suspension strut incorporating a ball bearing assembly provided with an outer race which is spherical in the region of the balls. The cage of the ball bearing assembly is formed of flexible material which is retained against an inner race and which comprises an upper section for covering the ball bearing and a lower section for closing the ball bearing opening. With this construction, a gimbal or cardan-type connection is provided between the strut and the mounting tower of the vehicle body work for improved support of a steerable road wheel.
