An automotive steering system is a critical component of a vehicle that enables the driver to control the direction of the vehicle's wheels, facilitating maneuverability and directional control. This system is composed of several interconnected parts, including the steering wheel, steering column, rack and pinion or steering gearbox, and various linkages and joints that connect to the wheels. Its primary function is to provide the driver with precise control over the vehicle's direction.

The main types of automotive steering systems include electric power steering (EPS), hydraulic power steering (HPS), electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS), and manual steering. Electric power steering (EPS) utilizes an electric motor to assist in steering the vehicle, enhancing control and efficiency. Its components typically include sensors, a steering column, a mechanical rack and pinion, an electric motor, an electronic control unit (ECU), and a hydraulic pump. These components are distributed through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket channels and are utilized in various applications such as passenger cars (PCs), light commercial vehicles (LCVs), heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), and other automotive vehicles.
