Abstract
A steering system of a vehicle is provided that includes a steering gear assembly including a tubular housing coupled to the vehicle. A pre-load compliant mounting bracket is coupled to the tubular housing and mounted to the vehicle for laterally placing the steering gear assembly into a pre-loaded state. A compliant mounting bracket is coupled to the tubular housing and mounted to the vehicle for limiting the steering gear assembly from laterally displacing relative to the vehicle beyond a predetermined distance. The pre-load compliant mounting bracket is compliant to the lateral displacement of the steering gear assembly for producing an understeer condition when a steering force above a predetermined steering force threshold is applied to the vehicle and is non-compliant when a steering force below the predetermined steering force threshold is applied to the vehicle.
