When the steering wheel is turned in any direction, the wheels turn in that direction. In this way, the vehicle goes in the desired direction.
The communication between the wheels and the steering wheel is provided by the shaft. There is a threaded rod on this shaft. With the movement of this rod or shaft, the gear wheel rotates. Therefore, the movement of the gear wheel drives the wheels.
