IntroductionCurrent State
•No Steering System in Place•Original Mount is Present•Steering wheel mount is present•No suspension in place
Goals for Project
•Design a steering system that utilizes as much of the current frame
•System must be able to withstand SAE racing conditions
•System should provide a competitive advantage

Customer RequirementRequirement Description Importance Rating
Reliability
The design must be able to perform under racing conditions. 30%
Cost
The cost needs to be low and fall within the customers budget 25%
simplicity
The design should be simple enough to build given the resources and materials that the design team has access to.
20%
Weight
The weight needs to be low in order to provide a favorable power to weight ratio 15%
Size
The size of the assembly must be small enough to accomadate the driver given the materials at hand
10%
