'''Steering''' is the collection of components, linkages, etc. which allows any vehicle (car, bicycle, ship, aircraft, etc.) to follow the desired course. An exception is the case of rail transport by which rail tracks combined together with railroad switches (and also known as 'points' in British English) provide the steering function.

== History ==
The term '''steering''' comes from the Old Norse word stýri, which means a part in the ship used for its direction. [[Steering wheel|Steering wheels]] were first used in ships. With the development of technology, steering systems have evolved and are now used in cars, trucks, buses, and other land vehicles.

== Types of Steering Systems ==
There are three main types of steering systems: manual, power, and [[Four-wheel steering|four-wheel steering]].

=== Manual Steering ===
[[Manual steering]] is the simplest and oldest type of steering. The driver uses their physical effort to turn the wheels.

=== Power Steering ===
[[Power steering]] uses a system of hydraulic or electric actuators to aid in steering. The system allows the driver to guide the vehicle with less effort than manual steering.

=== Four-Wheel Steering ===
[[Four-wheel steering]] is a system that allows the rear wheels to turn at a certain angle relative to the front wheels. This system improves maneuverability and reduces the turning radius.

== Steering Components ==
The main components of a steering system include the steering wheel, steering column, steering gear, and steering linkage. These components work together to control the direction of the vehicle.

=== Steering Wheel ===
The [[steering wheel]] is the part of the steering system that the driver manipulates to guide the vehicle.

=== Steering Column ===
The [[steering column]] is a shaft that connects the steering wheel to the steering gear.

=== Steering Gear ===
The [[steering gear]] is a device that converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion to turn the wheels.

=== Steering Linkage ===
The [[steering linkage]] is a system of rods, links, and arms that transmit motion from the steering gear to the wheels.
