Abstract
An improved system for achieving optimum steering angles for wheels incorporates a sensor which senses the steering angle of a first wheel. The sensed angle is sent to a control which then determines the optimum angle for the other steered wheel based upon known formulas. The optimum angle is determined, and an adjustment structure associated with the tie rod then drives the second wheel to achieve the optimum steered angle.
