We've always hated juggling the wheel of a slow-ratio power steering system. Some common 4x4 steering boxes require up to four turns lock-to-lock. After spending only a short time behind the wheel ...

Gearboxes are set up with ratios that affect how many times you have to turn the steering wheel to get the front wheels to pivot a given number of degrees. In a wide-ratio box you have to turn the ...

And with 4.25 turns lock-to-lock for the stock 16:1 steering box, we can understand why. A change to a quick-ratio gearbox is the simple answer, and is a much lower-cost option than the headache ...

For automakers, the motivation to move to steer-by-wire is cost reduction. With the steering ratio determined in software, a single steering rack will work across multiple models. And the motor on ...

To make up for that reduction, a variable steering ratio is used, so that how much you turn the yoke at one vehicle speed may adjust the steering more or less than you do at another speed.

However, as Tesla started deliveries of the new Model S Plaid last year, we were surprised to see that the wheel had a normal 14.0:1 steering ratio, and it is proving to be impractical at lower ...

Whether or not you see the Tesla Cybertruck as the bane of the pickup world or the second coming of Truck-Based Christ, we can all shut up now: the Cybertruck is a real thing. Angular styling ...

It is also expected to be usable as a gaming interface in the future. Steer-by-wire enables the steering ratio to be freely adjusted based on the driving situation, delivering both sporty ...

it needs to have a variable steering ratio that makes it easy to navigate at slow speeds but isn’t twitchy at high speeds. At low speeds, very little yoke movement applies a lot of steering to ...

Tesla also didn't re-engineer the steering ratio so that the yoke wouldn't need to be turned past half-way, requiring drivers to take their hands off it and find something to grab as they complete ...

The system also uses a variable steering ratio, meaning steering quickens at low speeds, such as in parking situations, and slows down at high speeds, like when driving on the highway. The brand ...
