Placement and Functionality of the Steering Rack

The steering rack is mounted horizontally at the front of the vehicle chassis, connected to the steering gear and tie rods on both sides. As a core component of the power steering system, it converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into lateral linear movement, enabling precise and stable steering control. Manufactured with high-precision craftsmanship, it ensures smooth operation, reliable performance, and excellent durability. Properly installed and well-maintained, it guarantees responsive handling, safe driving, and long service life under various road conditions.
