Abstract
A vehicle steering apparatus includes a steering mechanism adapted to transmit a steering angle of a steering wheel through a link mechanism to a wheel. The vehicle steering apparatus includes an angle increasing gear set disposed between the link mechanism and the wheel for increasing the steering angle of the steering wheel to be transmitted to the wheel. The angle increasing gear set and the wheels are supported by a vehicle frame through a suspension. The angle increasing gear is formed of an internal gear wheel connected to the link mechanism and an external gear wheel connected to the wheel and meshing with the internal gear wheel.
