How does the rack and pinion system steer a vehicle?
According to an article by Moog Parts, rack and pinion steering works by using a gear system to translate the steering wheel’s circular motion into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels. The pinion gear connects to the steering shaft so that the gear will spin and move the rack when the steering wheel turns.

Can a rack and pinion be used as a steering rack?
On this kit we used our own build of manual rack and pinion in a center take-off style rear steer rack.

This unit is pounds lighter than the original steering and maximizes clearance for V-8 swaps.
