Chevrolet C1500 Rack And Pinion

Chevrolet C1500 has a part known as the Rack And Pinion and this is the component that turns the circular motion of the steering wheel into the sideways movement of the front wheels. This type is rack and pinion; this is made up of a pinion which is connected to the steering column and a rack that is housed within a metal tube. On turning it, the pinion moves and mates with the rack; this enables the vehicle to change its direction of motion. Chevrolet C1500 cars mainly come with power assisted rack and pinion steering systems where hydraulic power assists in ease of its operation. These systems include a cylinder that is filled with a fluid and a piston which offers support depending on the turning of the steering wheel. This being the case, the early models of the C1500 came with manual racks but these have made way for hydraulic power racks in more recent models. Problems which may include leakage, worn out gears, and damaged seals may develop in the Rack And Pinion which affects the flow of the steering system and may need to be repaired or replaced.

Each OEM Chevrolet C1500 Rack And Pinion we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
