Abstract
The steering actuator system disclosed includes a driver feedback rack for receiving input from a steering wheel and a vehicle steering rack, separate from the driver feedback rack. A variable feedback device connects the driver feedback rack to the vehicle steering rack, such that linear motion of the driver feedback rack is translated to variable linear motion of the vehicle steering rack through the variable feedback device. Also, linear motion of the steering rack can be translated into variable linear motion of the driver feedback rack through the variable feedback device.
