Did you know that the steering rack was first introduced as part of the Ford Pinto in the early 1970s? So your Ford Pinto Steering Rack – even a bright, shiny new one – is a link to automotive history. Your steering rack, when properly installed in your Ford Pinto – is the latest in a long line of improvements in the automotive industry – to the point that the steering rack is now standard on the vast majority of vehicles. The steering rack is vastly superior to the older recirculating ball systems, as it offers far better steering feel and precision.

A Ford Pinto Steering Rack is based on the principles of rack and pinion steering – in which gears on the circular pinion (controlled by your steering wheel) convert circular energy to side to side energy via gears on the rack, which moves on a straight plane. This enables your car to be turned to the left or right with a movement of the steering wheel – a mechanism you likely take for granted every day.
