How does rack-and-pinion work?

The steering rack is located between the front wheels, and attaches them to the steering wheel. The inner and outer tie rod ends link the ends of the steering rack to the steering knuckles, which is what the car's wheels attach to. When the steering wheel is turned, the steering rack forces all of these components out on one side, and pulls them in on the other side.

How often do steering racks need to be replaced?

As any system that carries high pressure will, the system will eventually fail from normal wear and tear, but this should be well into the serviceable life of the vehicle. For most vehicles, the power steering system will last well over 100,000 miles before any failures occur. Keeping the power steering fluid fresh and the system free of contaminants is key to ensuring long power steering system life. That's why sticking to your regularly scheduled maintenance, detailed in your owner's manual, is so important.

How are steering rack issues diagnosed?

Since most power steering issues generate the same symptoms, it can be difficult to diagnose one part without checking the condition of the whole system. A technician will check for leaks, examine the belt tension and listen for problems with the power steering pump. If these all check out. After that, if no other issues are found, the steering rack will be suspected of failure, if the symptoms dictate.
