A steering system 1 for a vehicle rotationally coupling the steering wheel 2 to the steering box 3. The steering linkage 4 has a first shaft 9 coupled to the steering wheel, a second shaft 14 adapted to be coupled to the steering box, and a flexible transmission loop 18 that rotationally couples the first shaft to the second shaft. Rotation from the steering wheel may be transmitted to the steering linkage via a wheel shaft 10, and from the linkage to the steering box via connecting shafts 15, 16. Preferably, connections are made with universal joints 11. The flexible loop may be a toothed or friction belt, or a chain. Therefore the first and second shafts could include pulleys 13, 17 or sprockets (23, 24, Fig.4), respectively. A biased tensioner 20 may be present, as well as an idler 19. The steering wheel could be disposed closer to the vehicle front end than the front wheels, and the loop may be arranged around a chassis member.
