Abstract
In a vehicle the steering system includes a steering gear housing transversely mounted relative to the vehicle body by means of a plurality of gear housing mount insulators. Each of the gear housing mount insulators elastically supports the gear housing in such a manner as to allow transverse displacement of the gear housing with respect to the vehicle body. A damper is provided to restrain the transverse displacement allowed by the gear housing mount insulators.
Claims6
