After installation, the operator installs the two tie rod bodies 8 and connecting sleeves 9 simultaneously, and connects the outer tie rod end 10 to the steering gear 11 at the port of the connecting sleeve 9. The operator then installs the entire assembled structure onto the vehicle to be installed. Next, the operator installs the connecting post 12 on the steering control connecting post 12 onto the fixing rod 6. Then, the operator installs the steering gear input shaft 14, fixing belt 15, and fixing post 16 in sequence. Finally, the operator...
