Abstract
The strut of the leg has a lateral extension on its outside above the rotary sleeve, the cylinder of a steering actuator is suspended from the lateral extension by means of a universal joint, the end of the rod off said actuator is hinged to a lateral steering lug of the rotary sleeve. This flexible disposition puts fewer constraints on implementation of the scissor linkage, and it improves guidance of the rotary sleeve.
