Mr. tiaylur is accordingly much euted over his success thus tar, and he no doubt has an Invention that will prove of much value and be a money maaer for the inventor. This invention relates to steering mechanism for front wheels of motor vehicles and the primary object of the invention is to provide means whereby the pivot point of each frontw heel la directly in alignment with the vertical axis of the wheel, whereby a perfect pivot action of the wheels will be had when turning and eliminates the pre sent method of having the steering or pivot Joints Inside of the front wheels, which permits undue wear of the tires in turning and strain on the steering gear. The invention also provides an Im proved hub for steering wheels, and an especial improvement in the construc tion of the stop axle for spindle so as to provide a guard for the same and an additional support for the wheel In case the spindle Is broken.
