Steering Gear: Description and Operation
Variable Ratio Steering Rack
The variable ratio rack:
Incorporates teeth of varying pitch and angle of contact, giving a variable pitch circle diameter which is a minimum at the center of the rack and a
maximum at the ends.
Reduces excessive response to on-center steering inputs during motorway driving.
Causes the steering action to become progressively more direct as the steering wheel is turned from the center position.
Allows a low number of turns of the steering wheel from lock to lock.
