A transmission housing 94 includes a body 98 having a first protrusion 110 extending from body 98 which may define a first cavity 118 receiving a portion of first control arm 78 if present, and may have a second protrusion 114 partially defining a second cavity 118 receiving a portion of second control arm 82 if present. A first pin 170 is insertable into first protrusion 110 of transmission housing 94 and may be received in first control arm 78 of main housing 26. A second pin 174 may be coupled between second protrusion 114 of transmission housing 94 and second control arm 82 of main housing 26. A steering axis 90 is defined by first pin 170, and also second pin 174 if present, with pins 170,174 defining a steering axis 90.
