A vehicle with a tilting frame comprises a main frame with at least one ground contacting element such as a wheel, skid, caterpillar chain or a float attached thereto. The vehicle can be steered by means of an axle pivot steering arrangement. The tilting frame, tiltable relative to the main frame, has a tilt axis with a steering tube having a steering axis running obliquely or perpendicularly to the tilt axis. Also provided are at least one track rod and a track rod actuation element characterized by the track rod actuation element being movable relative to the tilting frame. During cornering, by tilting the tilting frame about the tilt axis and, independently thereof, by rotation of the steering tube about the steering axis, the track rod causes the ground contact element to undergo a steering movement without a substantial changing in the camber of the steerable contact element.
