The steering parameters are generally complicated so sensible defaults are provided.

They are as follows:

Parameters

phi0	- Initial angle of the kingpin or kunckle of the right wheel, measured from the direction along the axle, and pointing to the right. With phi0 = 0 the knuckel points directly to the right along the axle (a bad thing), and with phi0 = pi/2 makes the kingpin parallel to the wheel (not good either)
l	- Length of the knuckle normalized to the wheel base. Wheel base is the distance between the centers of the two wheels on the same axle.
alpha0	- Initial angle of the right tie rod which connects the knuckle to the steering column or the rack. This is also measured from the axle of the right wheel
lc	- Distance of the steering column from the tie rods from the line connecting the wheels in units of l, when applicable (Bell crank)
lr	- Rack length in units of the wheel base for rack and pinion
gear	- Gear ratio between steering wheel and the control angle of the linkage mechanism
side	- Side of steering column position: 0 refers to left wheel, 1 refer to right wheel. This is specially used for Ackermann steering mechanism.
