2100240 9309971 PCTABS00022 A steering linkage has a pair of steering arms (26) rotatably mounted on the vehicle frame (20) and jointed together by a tie-rod (30) to form, in combination, a parallelogram. For each wheel (12), a steering arm (26) slidably engages a crank arm (22) secured to a kingpin (18) that rotatably mounts the wheel (12) to the frame (20). The pivot point (25) of each steering arm (26) is arranged so that a given angular rotation of both steering arms (26) produces a differential angular wheel rotation that maintains the point of intersection of the steered wheel axes (17) proximate the axis (19) of the fixed wheels (16) or, more generally, the rotational axes (17, 19) of all wheels (12, 16) proximate a fixed point.
