All-Terrain Vehicles, usually called ATVs, are a popular product in the leisure sport market. The steering mechanisms is one of the important components of ATVs to obtain better maneuverability. The purpose of this work is to develop a systematic design procedure for the steering mechanisms of ATVs. First, the particularities and the requirements of ATVs are investigated to induce the basic characteristics. Second, to carry out the creative design of steering mechanisms by using the systematic procedure of creative mechanism design. Third, to deduce the analytic theory of angle displacement, torque and stability for the design of steering mechanisms. Then a computer aided analysis program are written. Finally, to establish the quantitative design specification of the steering mechanisms of ATVs. Then the dimension synthesis and the steering mechanism to integrate with body of ATVs are illustrated with an example.
