Acura RLX (P-AWS)
Acura RLX (P-AWS)

P-AWS allows the RLX actively and independently adjust the angle of the rear wheels for better agility and braking. Acura ended up cutting almost 275 pounds from the RLX's curb weight (compared to the RL) thanks to the use of high-strength steel and aluminum.

Audi Q7 all-wheel steering Audi offers another groundbreaking innovation as an option: all-wheel steering. A steering system with an electric spindle drive turns the rear wheels inward by as much as five degrees depending on the situation.

Basic Geometry
Basic Geometry

Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii.

Electric Power Steering
Electric Power Steering

Electric Power Steering To provide steering assistance, an electric motor mounted to the side of the rack housing drives a ball-screw mechanism via a toothed rubber belt. The screw engages a spiral cut in the outside of the steering rack. A torque sensor attached to the pinion shaft signals a control computer when to provide assistance.

Four-Wheel Steering
Four-Wheel Steering

A planetary gearbox determined rear-steering degree based on steering-wheel angle. At small angles, the rear wheels would steer up to 1.5 degrees in phase with the fronts, but at larger angles (more than 246 degrees of steering rotation), the rear wheels would steer up to 5.3 degrees opposite the fronts, trimming the turning radius about 10 percent.

Hydraulic Power Steering
Hydraulic Power Steering

Hydraulic power steering systems work by using a hydraulic system to multiply force applied to the steering wheel inputs to the vehicle's steered (usually front) road wheels.

Linkages
Linkages

A steering linkage is the part of an automotive steering system that connects to the front wheels. Diagrammatic steering system The steering linkage which connects the steering gearbox to the front wheels consists of a number of rods.

Power Steering
Power Steering

A steering system that is designed to operate with power assistance isn’t meant to be driven without that power, and because of steering gear ratios, other geometrical considerations, and drag in the system, it can be surprisingly hard to turn the wheel when this happens.

Rear Wheel Steering
Rear Wheel Steering

Rear wheel steering tends to be unstable because in turns the steering geometry changes hence decreasing the turn radius (over steer), rather than increase it (under steer). Rear wheel steering is meant for slower vehicles that need high-maneuverability in tight spaces, e.g. fork lifts.

Speed Sensitive Steering
Speed Sensitive Steering

The Power Steering system provides greater assists at low speeds than at high speeds. The Speed Sensitive steering aspect should be consistent – it shouldn’t take more or less force to turn the wheel at the same speed during different times.

Springs
Springs

While springs absorb the bumps, shock absorbers (or, in cars that have them, struts, which are similar to shocks) dampen the motion of the springs after a bump, keeping the vehicle from bouncing excessively.
