Where is Steering Rack and Pinion Used? Due to its simple mechanism, rack-and-pinion is quickly becoming common steering system in modern cars, SUVs, trucks, and railways. It smoothly converts rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion to provide gear reduction ensuring a relaxed drive. The mechanism of steering mainly relies on a rack that is attached to the tie rod and a pinion that is attached to the steering wheel. When the steering is rotated, the rack pushes the tie rod and thus the wheels. This causes the rotatory motion to change into a linear motion and creates gear reduction to reduce the speed of the vehicle and keep control of it.
