Chevrolet S10 Rack And Pinion

The Chevrolet S10 Rack And Pinion is an essential part of a car steering system; It turns the rotational movement of the steering wheel into lateral movement to steer the front wheels. This mechanism involve a rack gear which is located in an enclosed metal tube interacting with tie-rods whereas the steering column shaft is connected to a pinion gear. Almost all the S10 vehicles use power rack and pinions with hydraulic assistance, and here the working of the system is with the help of fluid pressure that helps in moving the rack from one side of the steering to the other side. Some of the common problems that may occur in the steering rack are the leakage from worn seals or hoses or even the gears inside the rack that may get worn, causing stiffness in the steering column or the vehicle may start developing some sort of wandering. In cases of excessive play or pulling, especially if it transpires due to some forceful pulling, the rack & pinion assembly is likely to fail and would require replacement so that there is steady steering control and efficiency.

Each OEM Chevrolet S10 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.
