The Rack And Pinion in Chevrolet Equinox cars are one of those elements which, by its means, turn the movement of the steering wheel into a side movement of the front wheels. This one is called rack and pinion; it features a pinion that is connected to the steering column; a rack is housed in a metal tube which it is connected to the tie-rods and steering knuckles of the vehicle. Current generation Chevrolet Equinox models employ a power-assisted, rack and pinion steering, which is further aided by a hydraulic pump driven off the engine. Manual racks were previously used, but have been more or less phased out in favor of power assisted models for easy operation. The application is mostly utilitarian with straight gears being preferred for a number of reasons including their ability to run cooler as compared to helical gears that though used due to their advantages are known to worn out faster. Most problems with the Rack And Pinion arise from leakage of fluid from the seals, worn gears and other related components causes stiffness of the steering or play of the wheel. This means timely servicing to avoid being call upon to spend a lot of money in the process of repairing when you could have been preventive the same from happening.
