French term or phrase: liaison mécanique d'entraînement
En variante, on peut tout aussi bien envisager d'appliquer l'invention à un système de direction assistée dit « steer by wire », au sein duquel il n'existe pas de liaison mécanique d'entraînement entre le volant de conduite 2 et l'organe mobile 30 (crémaillère) 4 entraîné par le moteur d'assistance 7, mais seulement une liaison électrique

Certainly not "drive mechanical connection", in any case. "Mechanical drive connection" would be the correct word order, but I still think "linkage" is a better term.

Asker: I was wondering if it may me "drive mechanical connection" as for clients detail matter

Asker: thank you mr Stephen


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  mrrafe: You may have got this better than me but I thought entrainement in this context means steering rather than drive? It's not a drive in the sense of a pushing action. ... Stephen, agreed, I too considered omitting drive but decided to err toward prolixity

  -> I think it is convenient to differentiate between "direction", translated as "steering", and "entrainement". If it wasn't a patent I would probably have said just "mechanical linkage".

mechanical steering link


Explanation:
Mechanical would mean non-electronic.

The steering link is a central link from the driver's steering wheel (2) down to the organe mobile (3? 30?) steering mechanism. There is also a drag link but I don't think that's the translation, because I don't think steer by wire eliminates the drag link. I would need more knowledge, or a diagram, of steer by wire.
