	Steering - Wikicars
		Steering is the term applied to the collection of components, linkages, etc. which allow for a car or other vehicle to follow a course determined by its driver, except in the case of rail transport by which rail tracks combined together with railroad switches provide the steering function.
		The most conventional steering arrangement is to turn the front wheels using a hand–operated steering wheel which is positioned in front of the driver, via the steering column, which may contain universal joints to allow it to deviate somewhat from a straight line.
		Many modern cars use rack and pinion steering mechanisms, where the steering wheel turns the pinion gear; the pinion moves the rack, which is a sort of linear gear which meshes with the pinion, from side to side.

	Rack-and-Pinion Steering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The pinion shaft comes into the rack at a ninety-degree angle, held in place by a collar, and the teeth on the pinion mesh with the teeth on the rack.
		The pinion is connected directly to the steering column, so when the steering wheel is turned to the left, for instance, the pinion rotates counter-clockwise (from the driver's perspective).
		The pinion shaft, which is directly connected to the steering shaft, rotates counter-clockwise (from the driver's perspective).

	Steering
		The lower ratio gives the steering a quicker response -- you don't have to turn the steering wheel as much to get the wheels to turn a given distance -- which is a desirable trait in sports cars.
		The top of the bar is connected to the steering wheel, and the bottom of the bar is connected to the pinion or worm gear (which turns the wheels), so the amount of torque in the torsion bar is equal to the amount of torque the driver is using to turn the wheels.
		Since the inner part of the spool valve is also connected to the steering shaft (and therefore to the steering wheel), the amount of rotation between the inner and outer parts of the spool valve depends on how much torque the driver applies to the steering wheel.

	Learn. Meridian Auto Parts sells Steering Rack and Pinion & Steering Box
		Steering Rack and pinion is almost always power assisted although there are rare cases where it is not.
		Inside the rack is a pinion assembly that moves a toothed piston to move the steering gear.
		The down side of a rack and pinion steering system is that they are prone to leakage requiring replacement of the rack assembly.

	Rack & Pinion Steering
		If you find the steering pulls to one side while driving the vehicle, it might be due to an alignment problem or it might be due to a leaky spool valve that is routing pressure to one side of the rack.
		If the steering is slow to return or "sticks" when turning to either side, it may indicate binding or corrosion in the flexible coupling in the steering input shaft, or rusted or worn upper MacPherson strut mounts.
		If the steering is not centered when the rack is installed, it is possible to overextend and break the clockspring when the steering is turned all the way to one side or the other.

		While you are investigating the rack you should inspect the hydraulic fittings attached to the rack (where the hose lines connect), check the hose lines and the power steering reservoir.
		Steering wheel alignment can be typically corrected by removing the steering wheel and re-positioning it on the steering column shaft with the car in a straight running position.
		A long rack has two interpretations in the industry: it could be a short rack with inner tie rods and boots attached, or it could include both the inner; outer tie rods and boots.

	Steering & Suspension: Gear (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This type of steering gear uses a worm gear and ball bearings to rotate the sector shaft, which connects to the pitman arm.
		Rack and pinion steering gears are most common due to the popularity of front wheel drive.
		The steering gear should be inspected closely at least once a year, usually at the same time as a wheel alignment, or more often as needed.

		The teeth in the pinion gear mesh with the teeth on the rack, transferring the rotating motion to a side-to-side motion.
		The rack is moved side to side by the motion of the pinion gear.
		In a manual steering vehicle, all of the motion is controlled by the pinion gear moving the rack.

	(Chrysler) Imperial Steering System Terms and How The System Works
		Because teeth on the nut are meshed with the teeth on the sector, the movement of the nut causes the sector shaft to rotate and swing the steering linkage connected to it.
		When the steering wheel is turned to the left, the ball bearings roll between the worm and the nut and work their way upward in the worm groove.
		Steering linkage parts must never be heated during a repair because this could cause them to lose their malleability and, as a result, fracture.

		Start by breaking the outer tie rod ends loose, disconnecting the steering coupler (or "rag" joint) from the steering column, unbolting the power assist support bracket from the frame rail, disconnecting the power steering hoses from the pump, and removing two of the three bolts that hold the steering box to the frame.
		The rest is in the kit--a brand-new steering rack, well-engineered and crafted mounting brackets that bolt in place of the steering box and idler arm, all necessary hardware, new hoses, tie rod ends, and steering column adapter and extension shaft.
		He later related that the car's steering is very precise, feels much more positive than it ever had with the stock system, seemed to respond quicker to any steering wheel inputs, and, at the same time, didn't feel as heavy as the original setup.

	Adjusting Slack in Rack-and-Pinion Steering
		As the steering wheel is turned, the rack and pinion work together to shift the steering linkage and the wheels together either to the left or right at the constantly changing whim of the driver, or errant squirrel.
		The rack also has teeth like a gear, except the teeth run along the length of the rack, machined into the shaft that is the rack itself.
		Inspecting the boots, tie rods, and the steering rack for excessive wear is a safe bet when it comes time to adjust the steering rack.

	Rack and pinion steering device patent invention
		[0002] The present invention relates in general to rack and pinion steering devices for wheeled motor vehicles, and more particularly to the steering devices of a type that has such an arrangement as to stable and assure the engagement between a pinion shaft and a rack bar.
		That is, the cylindrical rack retainer is arranged to push the projected portion to bias the rack bar toward the pinion shaft.
		Due to the cylindrical shape of the rack retainer and rotatable arrangement of the same, a sliding resistance produced between the rack bar and the rack retainer under movement of the rack back is minimized.

	Rack-and-Pinion Type Steering
		The rubber-band concept used a pulley system to turn the pinion gear, and more rubber bands to recenter the wheels automatically when the steering motor was not actually running (the NQC float command allowed the motor to turn more easily when while the motor was off).
		The problem was that rubber bands strong/tight enough to return the steering assembly to its center position were too strong to allow the belt-driven steering to move completely to the left or right, and vice-versa.
		After continually running into dead ends with a true rack-and-pinion steering system, I awoke one morning realizing that the same mechanical system that makes pistons work could be used to convert rotary motion to back-and-forth linear motion.

		The only reason I am using this rack rather than a late 80's rack is because this one was practically given to me and it is brand spankin new.
		This crossmember is wider where it angles upward to bolt to the frame than the original crossmember causing the interference with the stock steering setup.
		It feels like the stock steering, ratio wise, but it lacks one wheel revolution which takes away from the total wheel angle change, but has good feel in all situations, kind of like a new car.
