Key Functions of Steering Racks and Gear Boxes
Every car, truck, and van on the road today has either a steering rack or a steering gear. What your vehicle has depends on its design, age, and primary function. Generally, older and heavy-duty vehicles have steering gears, whereas newer cars and those intended for light-duty use have steering racks.
Regardless of the type of vehicle you have and its steering setup, steering gears and gear boxes play a critical role in the drivability of your vehicle. They contain all the gears and mechanisms that transfer the motion of the steering wheel to the wheels so they turn as expected. Over time, steering racks and gear boxes can wear out, resulting in free play in the steering wheel, or their seals can fail, causing power steering fluid leaks.
Because steering racks and gear boxes play an instrumental role in steering your vehicle, replacing them ASAP when damaged is necessary to ensure your vehicle’s safety and handling.
