The main aim of the steering mechanism in road vehicles is to provide the required change of direction. Different mechanisms can be used within the steering system. The application of a dimensional synthesis method to the design of steering mechanisms in road vehicles is presented in this work. Both kinematic requirements and transmission angles are considered, and also the limitation of space within the vehicle. The local optimization method developed by the authors has been applied to the design of steering mechanisms in road vehicles. Three different mechanisms have been studied: four bar linkage, rack and pinion and six bar linkage. Both fulfilment of Ackermanns condition and acceptable values of transmission angles were the optimization requirements. The examples presented in this work show a good precision in the results obtained.
