When the coordinated movement between the steering wheel and the other components is not smooth and efficient, that is what happens when the rack and pinion goes out. Failure to correct this problem could be the difference between a minor repair and a major mechanical problem.
It is actually a pretty simple mechanism. A rack-and-pinion gearset is enclosed in a metal tube, with each end of the rack protruding from the tube. A rod, called a tie rod, connects to each end of the rack. The pinion gear is attached to the steering shaft. When you turn the steering wheel, the gear spins, moving the rack. The tie rod at each end of the rack connects to the steering arm on the spindle (see diagram above). The rack-and-pinion gearset does two things: 1  It converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels. 2  It provides a gear reduction, making it easier to turn the wheels.
