3B-2 MANUAL RACK AND PINION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The rack and pinion steering system consists of two components, the rack (1) and the pinion (2). When the steering
wheel (3) is turned, the motion is transmitted to the steering shaft joint (4) and then to the pinion (2).
Since the pinion teeth mesh with teeth on rack, the motion is further transferred to the rack and changed to linear
motion. The force is then transmitted through the tie rods (5) to the steering knuckles (6) which turn wheels.
NOTE:
Although the figure below shows only the left-hand steering vehicle, the same work procedure and data
apply to the right-hand steering vehicle.
