Determine the design goals of rack and pinion gear according to the vehicle type, purpose and performance requirements. For example: How much steering force is required? What is the maximum steering angle of the wheel? What is the expected service life and maintenance cycle?

If the steering wheel is obviously heavy when turning, or the steering is not smooth, it may be that the wear of the rack and pinion gear has increased friction. In this case, the owner should check and replace the rack and pinion gear assembly as soon as possible to avoid affecting driving safety.

The weight of the power steering rack varies depending on the model and design. Generally, its weight ranges from 10 kg to 30 kg. The hydraulic power steering rack is usually heavier than the electric power steering rack. This is because the hydraulic power steering system needs to include components such as hydraulic pumps, fuel tanks, pipes and control valves.

The Buick brand truly applied the power steering system to mass-produced models on the Buick Roadmaster launched in 1952. As the flagship model of the Buick brand at the time, Roadmaster represented Buick's highest level in the field of luxury cars.

The main components of power steering fluid are mineral oil or synthetic oil, which become more flammable in high temperature environments. When power steering fluid leaks into the engine compartment or the bottom of the vehicle, especially near hot parts such as the exhaust pipe, engine, spark plugs, etc., there is indeed a potential risk of causing a fire.

When water enters the power steering system, it will have an adverse effect on various components of the system. This is because the hydraulic oil in the power steering system not only needs to play a lubricating role, but also needs to maintain the hydraulic pressure of the system and provide power assistance.

n today's automotive market, rack and pinion steering systems still occupy an important position, especially in small and medium-sized passenger cars. However, with the development of technology, the popularity of electric power steering systems (EPS) is increasing, and it has gradually become a strong competitor to rack and pinion steering systems.

The rack and pinion steering system can provide high accuracy and stable controllability due to its precise gear meshing design. For four-wheeled motorcycles, this high-precision steering system can ensure that the driver can still maintain a good control experience in off-road or complex road conditions.

When the electric power steering system fails, the driver may immediately feel that the steering wheel becomes very heavy, especially when driving at low speed or parking. This phenomenon is particularly obvious.

Long-term use of leak-stoppers may cause seals to swell or harden, further compromising the system's seal. While leak-stoppers may appear effective in the short term, over time, seal degradation will lead to larger leaks and even more expensive repairs.
