Beside those tips from Ravi, you should write specifically for what car size you need steering, how wide is it, and what wheels are you gonna use, and are you are going to use parts from sets (what sets?) or you are going to order them from Bricklink.

That way you will get much more precise answer!

Thanks for your answers Ravi and Milan.

Milan, I have Mindstroms NXT 2.0 set, 8262 Quad Bike and some random old parts from where I dont remember. :D

I wanna use tire from Quad Bike, but I am not sure about the size of car, Quad Bike have some turning system, but I dont like it, because wheels can easy turn without my touching, so it is not stabile. I am going put 2 motors in that car, turning motor and one for engine and nxt brick for put some code in that car.

Here are some possible websites you could use to design the Technic Steering for your creation:

1) Use Blakbird's Technicopedia (http://www.ericalbrecht.com/technic/ ) to get the Lego Set Number for the Quad Bike, truck, or other 4-wheeled vehicle you want to build.

2) Go onto the Lego Customer Service website (http://us.service.lego.com/en-US/BuildingInstructions/default.aspx ) to get the original Lego Technic BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS of the set you are interested in. You'll have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the various PDF documents you can download (for both the Main and Alternate ("B") Model). As indicated before, the steering is usually pictured early on in the instruction booklet.

3) Type in the Set Number in Peeron.com (http://www.peeron.com ) to get the PARTS INVENTORY of that set.

4) Go to Bricklink.com to order the needed parts.
