Steering gear structure description:
Product Information
For a regular commuter car, the optimal form of steering is power steering. Power steering racks will have an extra component,
the power steering pump, that will supply high-pressure fluid to rack, providing hydraulic power assist.
This makes steering significantly easier for the driver.
Rack-and-pinion steering is quickly becoming the most common type of steering on cars, small trucks and SUVs.
The rack-and-pinion gearset does two things:
It converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels.
It provides a gear reduction, making it easier to turn the wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How long does it take to install a power steering rack?
Depending on the mechanic's experience, the installation should take about 3 hours. If you're planning on doing the work yourself, we suggest to put aside about 6 hours and take your time. Labor costs will vary depending on the mechanic.
Are power steering racks easy to install?
It all comes down to how comfortable you are with working on your car. If you have little or no automotive knowledge or experience, we strongly recommend you take this to a certified mechanic to have the part properly installed and avoid possible failure or further damage to your vehicle. A bad installation can lead to much more costly repairs, so you should not risk it.
