Steering system for wheeled vehicle

A steering system for a wheeled vehicle having a steering linkage arranged between a pair of dirigible road wheels to steer the road wheels in accordance with the driver's steering effort applied thereto, comprising:

• a lateral rod operatively connected with said steering linkage for displacement therewith;
• and
• a single pneumatic cylinder arranged perpendicularly to said lateral rod and having a piston contained therein and a piston rod extending outwardly from said piston and being operatively connected to said lateral rod in such a manner that said piston is located in a stroke end when said lateral rod is in a neutral position and that said piston rod is pulled in accordance with displacement of said lateral rod to increase an internal pressure in said pneumatic cylinder in direct relation to said lateral rod displacement, whereby the internal pressure in said pneumatic cylinder acts on said lateral rod as a reaction force against the driver's steering effort.
