  • The performance of a repaired power steering rack depends on the quality of the repair and the severity of the problem. In some cases, the repair may not fully restore the original performance of the rack, especially when the internal mechanical parts are already severely worn.

  • When the rack and pinion system fails, the vehicle's driving trajectory may be abnormal. For example, the vehicle may deviate from the straight driving trajectory even if the steering wheel is in the neutral position.

  • BMW's first model equipped with a power steering system was the BMW E3 launched in 1968, also known as the "BMW New Six" series. The E3 series is a model launched by BMW to enter the high-end luxury sedan market, aiming to compete with luxury cars such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

  • Selected innovative model: Citroën 2CV The Citroën 2CV was the first car in the world to use a rack and pinion steering system extensively. The car debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 1948 and became a major highlight of the automobile market at the time.

  • In general, the service life of the hydraulic power steering rack is between 120,000 and 150,000 kilometers. However, this value is not absolute, because different use conditions will have different effects on its life.

  • From the late 1950s to the 1960s, more and more American automakers began to equip their models with power steering systems. During this period, power steering gradually evolved from an optional configuration for luxury models to a standard configuration for mid-to-high-end models.

  • If the steering rack leaks seriously, the owner may find obvious oil traces under the vehicle or near the steering rack. These oil traces are usually light yellow or amber in color and have a certain viscosity.

  • Based on the above-mentioned steering systems, the most advanced steering system is undoubtedly the steering-by-wire system (Steer-by-Wire, SbW). The steer-by-wire system is a fully electronic steering system that does not rely on mechanical connections.

  • The most direct power source for a hydraulic power steering system is the vehicle's engine. When the engine is started and running, the engine drives the hydraulic pump through a belt. Typically, the hydraulic pump is connected to the engine's belt drive system.

  • The hydraulic pump is the core component of the hydraulic power steering system, which provides power assistance by pressurizing hydraulic oil. If the hydraulic pump fails, such as internal wear or insufficient pressure, the hydraulic system will not work effectively.
