2. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

   A rack and pinion has roughly the same purpose as a worm gear with a rack replacing the gear, in that both convert torque to linear force. However the rack and pinion generally provides higher linear speed — since a full turn of the pinion displaces the rack by an amount equal to the pinion's pitch circle whereas a full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width.

3. Steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

   The steering wheel turns a pinion gear, which moves a rack back and forth to steer the wheels. This mechanism converts the circular motion of the steering wheel to linear motion, which is applied to the wheels of the car via tie rods and a steering knuckle. Rack and pinion steering has several advantages, such as a direct steering "feel".

4. Steering linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_linkage

   The steering linkage which connects the steering gearbox to the front wheels consists of a number of rods. These rods are connected with a socket arrangement similar to a ball joint, called a tie rod end, allowing the linkage to move back and forth freely so that the steering effort will not interfere with the vehicles up-and-down motion as the ...

5. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

   The steering pivot points [clarification needed] are joined by a rigid bar called the tie rod, which can also be part of the steering mechanism, in the form of a rack and pinion for instance. With perfect Ackermann, at any angle of steering, the centre point of all of the circles traced by all wheels will lie at a common point.

6. Active steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_steering

   The BMW active steering system consists principally of a power-assisted rack and pinion steering gear, a double planetary gear system in the steering column, and an electric actuating motor. [ 1 ] The double planetary gear system incorporates an input sun gear connected to the driver’s steering wheel, two planetary gears, an output sun gear ...

   In 1995, the Tacoma came with an extra-cab option, rack-and-pinion steering, a base towing rating of 3,500 pounds, new 2.4- and 2.7-liter four-cylinder engines and a new 3.4-liter V-6. Today ...
