Manual Steering Gear Description and Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Swift + and 2004 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The manual rack and pinion steering system consists of two main components: the rack and the pinion. The motion of the pinion is transferred through the pinion teeth that mesh with the teeth on the rack, which moves the rack. The force is then transmitted through the arms on the struts, which turn the wheels.
