The rack and pinion seal is vital because it keeps high-pressure power steering fluid under control while letting the steering column move.
Rack and pinion seal operationThe rack and pinion have a seal and the steering column has a seal as well. Each of the seals has a flexible rubber section that is prone to cracking. The main function of the rack and pinion seal is to males sure that the high-pressure power steering fluid is subdued. It is important to check the rack and pinion for any leaks because the seals are susceptible to having some issues when they dry out.
Common issues with a faulty rack and pinion sealA faulty rack and pinion seal can lead to leaking and repairing the seals can be expensive, but the seals are frequently not serviceable.
