The invention relates to a steering system for a five-axle heavy duty car. The forward-rotation output shaft of a right angle gear box is connected with the input end of a front steering gear through the transmission shaft of a first front axle, the output end of the front steering gear is hinged with the middle part of a driving arm, the lower end of the driving arm is connected with a steering arm on a first wheel hub through the longitudinal tie of a first front axle, the upper end of the driving arm is connected with the upper end of an oscillating arm through the upper tie rod of a second front axle, the middle part of the oscillating arm is hinged on a longitudinal beam, and the lower end of the oscillating arm is connected with a steering arm on a second wheel hub through the longitudinal tie of a second front axle; after being decelerated, the backward-rotation output shaft of the right angle gear box is connected with the input end of a rear steering gear through a transmission shaft mechanism, and the output end of the rear steering gear is connected with a steering arm on a fifth wheel hub through the longitudinal tie of a fifth axle. The transmission part of the steering system is under very small stress, the flexibility and the reliability of steering can be guaranteed, the operation is labor saving, and the steering system has the advantages of simple structure, easy assembly, light overall weight, low consumption of materials and low production cost.
