Rack and Pinion Gear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rack and pinion gear<\/strong><\/a> converts the rotational motion of your steering wheel into the linear motion that’s necessary to turn the wheels. It’s used on vehicles equipped with rack and pinion steering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gear set is usually enclosed in a metal tube with each end of the rack sticking out from the tube. A tie rod connects to each end of the rack. Meanwhile, the pinion gear is usually attached to the steering shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you turn your steering wheel, the gear spins, activating the movement of the rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
