Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How does the steering and power steering work?

When we use the word "steering", we often limit it to just the steering wheel, ignoring that the system that gives direction to our car is composed of many more parts. Schematically, the steering wheel, through a steering column, acts on the rack, which in turn acts on the arms that move the front wheels to the right and left. This direct action scheme, however, is physically demanding; for this reason, over the years, a system of assistance has been developed, namely the "power steering", which reduces the effort required to move the wheels, greatly benefiting driving and parking.
