The goal of this project was to design the steering system for the Union College Baja Team's 4 wheel-drive competition vehicle. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) annually challenges collegiate design teams to design and manufacture an off-road vehicle to compete in a series of racing challenges. The steering system for the Union College Baja Team's 2023 vehicle is designed as a rack and pinion mechanism, fulfilling the calculated requirement of 1.5 inches of travel per side. The mechanism is 17 inches long and requires 172 degrees of steering wheel rotation to make a full turn. The system consists of a round gear rack, a 16 teeth metal gear, a high load ball bearing, ultra-low friction oil embedded sleeve bearings, a press-fit drill bushing, and inline ball joint linkages. One of the focus points of the steering system was the durability of the middle housing, where failure has occurred in previous years. Therefore, finite element analysis was employed to insure favorable factors of safety. On May 4-7, 2023, the vehicle will compete at the annual competition in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
