Why do steering arms on a car point inwards towards the rear?



Answers:
Partly to create the correct geometry, so that the inside wheel turns more than the outside wheel in a corner (as its path has a smaller radius - think about the tyre tracks on a dry road after a car has driven through a puddle), and partly because they connect the wheels to the steering rack, which has to be mounted clear of the engine and gearbox, meaning it normally needs to be mounted quite a bit behind the wheels.
Because the elbow is smaller than the fore part of the arm.
To combat the resistance from the road and general force, think about it
look at your car where's the steering wheel in relation to the steered front wheels?
A lot of cars put the steering rack behind the engine at the base of the fire wall.
