Rack and Pinion Details

The variable ratio rack permits quick and precise reactions at speed and optimum vehicle control during maneuvering.
- The rack incorporates teeth of varying size and angle of contact.
- This results in a steering operation which is relatively direct with the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.
- As the steering is turned to the left or right, the ratio becomes lower.
