Steering and Braking System;A steering system permits a driver to control the direction of movement of his automobile.Its basic parts are a steering wheel, a steering shaft, a steering gear that changes the rotary motion of the steering shaft to the reciprocating motion of a pitman arm, a linkage system, and a pivot system for the wheels. 转向系帮助驾驶员控制汽车的运动方向。它的基本组成有1个方向盘、1个转向柱、1个将转向柱回转动作转换成转向臂往返运动的转向齿轮、1套连杆机构和1个车轮转动系统。;Every steering system includes a linkage that connects the front wheels to each other and to the steering gear. The usual automobile linkage consists of a pitman arm, an idler arm, two tie rod assemblies, a relay rod, and two knuckle arms. The steering column of every automobile now produced in the United States is designed to collapse eight inches if a predetermined amount of force is applied to the steering wheel. 每个转向系统包括一个将前轮彼此相连并连接转向齿轮的连杆机构。常见的连杆机构有转向臂、1个惰臂、2个转向拉杆总成、1个连杆和2个转向节臂。现在美国生产的每辆汽车的转向柱都被设计成当施加在转向柱上的力达到预设量时可以变形8英寸。;A front suspension system is designed to minimize tire wear and provide a compromise between steering ease and directional stability. Directional stability and steering qualities are influenced greatly by the adjustments that govern front wheel alignment-front suspension height, caster, steering axis inclination, camber, point of intersection, and toe-in and toe-out on turns. 前悬挂系统被设计用来实现最小的轮胎磨耗，以及轻松转向和方向稳定之间的协调。方向稳定和转向质量在很大程度上受下列控动轮定位的参数影响：前悬高度、主销后倾角、主销内倾角、前轮外倾角、主销和中心线的交点、前束和转向负前束。;For reasons of safety, the steering linkage and front suspension system of an automobile must always be in the best possible condition. They must respond quickly, easily, and accurately to any change in direction, regardless of vehicle speed. Poor adjustment, looseness, and/or damage can cause hard steering, wander, and rapid tire wear. 基于安全考虑，转向连杆和前悬挂系统必须一一直保持存可能的最好状态。无论车速快慢，他们一定都要对任何方向上的变化反应迅速、准确且易于操作。调整不当、松动和／或损坏都会引起转向困难、摇摆和轮胎的快速磨耗。;Front suspension height. Front suspension height is the vertical distance between a level floor or alignment machine r
