   A steering box design, such as recirculating ball, is much less sensitive. Despite this, the other advantages of rack and pinion steering have led to its almost universal adoption, at least for light automobiles. Steering kickback is distinct from torque steering, bump steer or roll steer. These are similar outside influences that affect the ...
