Description
Steering racks are a component in rack-and-pinion steering controls. They are the metal part on which gears, or pinions, slide back and forth, determining how far a corresponding wheel turns. Most steering racks can last 150,000 miles, but wear and tear do take their toll. Symptoms of impending failure may include vibration, dead zones in steering range, steering stutter and a grinding noise when turning.
