A steering device includes a steering power unit, a transmission unit, an upper control arm, a steering element, an eccentric bolt and a steering knuckle. The steering power unit has at least one torque-output end. The transmission unit is connected with the torque-output end. The steering element is connected with the transmission unit. The eccentric bolt, installed at the upper control arm, is connected with the steering power unit. The steering knuckle, mounted to a wheel disc, is connected with the steering element and the upper control arm, and used for controlling the wheel disc. The steering power unit drives the steering element to push or pull the steering knuckle for controlling a turning angle, and simultaneously drives the eccentric bolt to have the upper control arm to push or pull the steering knuckle for varying a camber angle of the wheel disc. In addition, a steering method is provided.

The present disclosure relates to a system for adjusting wheel alignment of a vehicle, the system including a base configured to be moved by a robot. The system further includes an adjustment arm movably disposed on the base and configured to be moved by an actuator. The system further includes a fixing unit provided at an upper end of the adjustment arm and configured to fix a bolt head or a nut. The system further includes a control unit configured to control the robot to allow the base to enter a toe adjustment part or a camber adjustment part for a vehicle suspension, the control unit being configured to control the actuator to allow the fixing unit of the adjustment arm to manipulate a bolt and a nut of the toe adjustment part or the camber adjustment part to adjust the wheel alignment of the vehicle.

A crane for lifting and transporting loads includes a base frame for transferring the loads of the crane onto a support surface by a plurality of wheels. The wheels are capable of rotating relative to the base frame so as to change the camber angle of the wheels.

An apparatus and methods are provided for a rear portal trailing arm assembly for a vehicle rear suspension. The trailing arm assembly comprises a CV joint hub for coupling with a transaxle and a wheel hub for coupling with a rear wheel. A gear transfer case extends rearward from the CV joint hub to an axle case and functions similarly to a rear trailing arm. Forward mounts facilitate coupling the gear transfer case to the chassis such that the trailing arm assembly pivots vertically with respect to the chassis. A rearward mount facilitates coupling a strut with the gear transfer case to control the vertical motion of the rear wheel. Multiple gear assemblies are meshed within the gear transfer case. An axle is coupled with the meshed gear assemblies and housed within the axle case, such that torque applied to the CV joint hub is communicated to the wheel hub.

A method to control a road vehicle with rear steering wheels and having, while driving along a curve, the steps of: determining a desired steering angle for the rear wheels; comparing the desired steering angle with a threshold value; applying, while driving along a curve and if the desired steering angle is greater than the threshold value, to both rear wheels a same actual steering angle that is equal to the desired steering angle; and applying, while driving along a curve and if the desired steering angle is smaller than the threshold value, to a rear wheel on the outside of the curve an actual steering angle greater than the desired steering angle and applying to a rear wheel on the inside of the curve a zero actual steering angle.

A vehicle includes a vehicle wheel, a vehicle frame and an adjustment mechanism configured to move the vehicle wheel relative to the vehicle frame. The adjustment mechanism includes a cam stud and a cam spacer. The cam stud extends at least partially through the vehicle frame. The cam spacer is rotationally fixed to the cam stud. Rotating the cam spacer moves the vehicle wheel relative to the vehicle frame.

A multiple-drive vehicle comprises a first driving position (3) for a first driver provided with first driving means (4), a second driving position (5) for a second driver provided with second driving means (6), a first pair of wheels (9) mechanically connected to the first driving means (4) and a second pair of wheels (10) mechanically connected to the second driving means (6). The first driving means (5) and the second driving means (6) are independent of each other for moving the respective pairs of wheels (9, 10) in an independent manner from each other.
