A steering rack is a crucial component of a car's steering system. It works by converting the rotational movement of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the car's wheels. The steering rack is made up of a rack and a pinion gear that are connected to the steering wheel and the wheels respectively.

When the driver turns the steering wheel, the rack moves forward or backward, depending on the direction of the turn. As the rack moves, it turns the pinion gear, which in turn rotates the car's wheels. The steering rack also contains a hydraulic power assist system that helps the driver turn the steering wheel with less effort. This system is operated using power steering fluid that is supplied by the car's engine.
