Abstract
A four-wheel steering apparatus for a vehicle includes assemblies for steering the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, and an interconnecting member for connecting the front and rear steering assemblies together to move in relation to one another such that there is a dwell period between movement of the front and rear steering assemblies. The interconnecting member is operated by a driver of the vehicle and the dwell period extends between the time when the movement of the front-wheel steering assembly begins and the time when the movement of the rear-wheel steering assembly begins.
