What is a Steering Rack?

Put simply, the steering rack is the part that converts the steering wheel rotation to linear motion. The linear motion then transmits via various parts to the wheels, producing a turning effect. That way, the rack assembly helps you to control the vehicle.

The steering rack assembly connects to the steering wheel via the steering shaft and steering column. Laterally, it contains tie rods that eventually link with the steering knuckle, helping to convey the steering wheel movements to the wheels.

The rack comprises many different parts. The main ones include the housing that contains the gearset, the gear set, and tie rids. In some steering rack types, the hydraulic or electric steering assist form part if the rak.

The housing is usually cast aluminum and the rack and pinion gear steel. Aluminum helps to reduce the overall weight of the rack assembly. The gears have to withstand the effects of wear, and one of the reasons for using steel to make them.

The steering rack is mostly found in light vehicles, both cars trucks. Some SUVs, too. Heavy duty trucks and SUVs often use the more powerful but dated recirculating ball system.
