Throughout this site we use many technical terms, and given the breadth of readership our site enjoys, sometimes we are remiss and incorrectly assume everyone knows what we are referring to. For those that do not, here are some explanations of the technical terms use. |

Such a connection may be fitted between the rods and levers of a car's steering gear, permitting a range of angular variations that is not otherwise possible. |
