Abstract
In a motor vehicle steering systm, the two tie rods are fastened by means of resilient tie rod bushings onto a support element of the steering gear. A piston and cylinder unit connected to the braking system presses the tie rod bushings apart when the brakes are actuated and thus moves the tie rods outward, so that the steered wheels move to a toed-in position.
