rack and pinion

For your car to turn left or right it must have steering, and chain steering is probably one of the most common steering systems employed in vehicles. They can be tricky, but they're really easy and very important for making sure cars stay safe on the road. This lesson covers how rack and pinion steering systems work, why they are useful, what kinds of vehicles we find them on, how to troubleshoot common issues, and how these systems have evolved over the years.

Rack and pinion steering utilizes a pinion (a round gear) and a rack (a flat bar). As the driver turns the steering wheel, the pinion rotates, moving the rack left and right. This assistance allows a car’s front wheels to pivot where the driver wants them to go. Rack and pinion steering (as with rack and pinion power steering) is a vastly simpler and more accurate steering mechanism than earlier styles of steering, contributing to safer and more pleasant driving.

The benefits of using rack and pinion systems

Rack and pinion steering has a lot to recommend it. One reason is they make it easy to turn the wheels quickly. One other reason is that these systems are too strong and require less understeering repair than any other type of steering. That way, drivers will be able to spend less time and money on car repairs. Most importantly for the general car driving public, conveyor line systems help make driving better and keep cars safer.
