A steering system arrangement for a vehicle, the steering system arrangement comprising a first portion providing a steering input, and a second portion providing a steering output, the first and second portions being connected by connection means selectively releasable to permit selection of the relative positioning of the steering input and the steering output
- wherein said connection means are selectively releasable to permit the rotation of one or both of these portions with respect to the other so that the position of the steering input relative to the steering output can be adjusted by this rotation.
A steering system arrangement for a vehicle, the steering system arrangement comprising a pinion shaft having a first end for connection with a steering wheel shaft and a second toothed end engaged with a corresponding toothed portion of an elongate rack, a pinion housing and a centre housing, each surrounding at least a portion of the rack, a centre steer block extending through a longitudinally extending slot in a sidewall of the centre housing and slidable therealong by a steering action caused by rotation of the pinion, the pinion housing and centre housing being coaxially aligned and connected by connection means selectively releasable to permit rotation of one or both of these with respect to the other.
