Abstract - This project ensures the efficient steering system assembly selection for a GO-KART by geometric optimization and analysis of every component of steering system. The main purpose of the project is to ensure the steering input between the driver effort and the wheels should be more effective and sensitive. Reducing the driver effort and increasing interaction between the driver and the wheels of Go-Kart. In this process to get that sensitivity various parameters are considered for effective selection of steering system like Ackermann steering geometry, steering arm length, steering ratio, turning radius, castor angles, toe angles, kingpin inclination and camber angle. Here Triangular Bracket is the intermediate between the steering and front wheels by connecting through tie-rods with steering arm, completes the functional kinematic links. The steering wheel is so designed to meet the weight reduction requirement along with keeping in mind of driver comfort. Soft-wares used for designing and analysis of components are SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS. Every component of steering system is Manufactured after being designed and analysed for their load bearing capacities
Key Words: Steering System, Ackermann steering geometry, Turning radius, Tie rods, Camber angle, Castor angle, Rack travel, Steering ratio.
