The steering rack assembly is a vital component of the vehicle’s steering system. It is designed to convert the rotational motion of the steering wheel into lateral motion that steers the wheels of the vehicle. The steering rack assembly consists of a rack and pinion mechanism, the steering column, and steering linkage. The rack is a gear that meshes with a pinion gear on the steering column, which turns when the driver rotates the steering wheel. This rotational motion is translated into lateral motion by the rack, which moves left or right depending on the direction of the turn. The steering linkage connects the rack to the wheels, allowing the lateral motion of the rack to turn the wheels. A properly functioning steering rack assembly is essential for safe and reliable vehicle operation.
