About Steering Box
In order to translate the rotation of a motor vehicle’s steering wheel to the turning of its wheels requires some form of steering system. All motor vehicles have one of two types of steering system; either a rack and pinion system or a Evora Lotussteering box. The Evora Lotussteering box system works by translating the rotation of the steering wheel as the driver turns it into the left and right movement of the pitman arm, which connects to the front wheels via a track rod or centre link, idler arm (which resembles a pitman arm and is situated on the opposite side of the car) and tie rods. Most steering box linkages consist of ball bearings that circulate in a path. As a consequence, this type of Evora Lotussteering box system is known as the “re-circulating ball.”
In comparison to the rack and pinion system the Evora Lotussteering box has a greater degree of free play, which means that there is a greater tendency for the parts to wear.
If a Evora Lotussteering box is badly worn it will result in steering problems, which might include steering wheel shudder, tram-lining and play in the steering wheel. Because of the potential consequences of steering failure, a worn Evora Lotussteering box needs to be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
Lotus trivia
- The car that Richard Gere is driving when he meets Julia Roberts in the film Pretty Woman is a silver Esprit Turbo. The car is referenced several times as being the top of its class. The same car also shows up in the Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas film, Basic Instinct.
- Lotus once finished building a car one day before it was due to race in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The rules now forbid this from happening. Unfortunately, the Lotus R3 didn't finish the race, breaking down with 16 laps still left to go.
- Sports cars have low seating, and all Lotus vehicles have seating that is so low that the average driver often has issues with getting in and out. While there are many positives to driving a Lotus, even they recommend a test drive before committing to a purchase.
- The Lotus Elise has been consistently voted as the best all-round sports car in the world, partly due to its lightweight design. It only weighs 1960lbs!
- The original Lotus cars were sold as kit cars so that buyers could avoid paying purchase tax. It wasn't until 1970 that Lotus started selling a model that didn't come as a kit...the Elan Plus Two.
