Modern automobiles can attribute their maneuverability to rack and pinion steering system – an automotive advancement that had and continues to have a great effect on driving, making steering more precise and easier. Together, the components of your rack and pinion steering system are known as your Honda Prelude Steering Rack. As you might well imagine, the steering rack of your vehicle is an incredibly important part of your day-to-day driving experience – so treat it well and service it when needed.

Your rack and pinion steering system is based on using gears to translate rotational motion into linear motion. Steering begins when the pinion, a circular gear with teeth, is rotated (by moving the steering wheel clockwise or counterclockwise).

The gears on the pinion engage with similar gears on the rack, a long, flat bar equipped with gear teeth. Essentially, the rack is attached to the wheels – meaning that turning the steering wheel circularly can effectively move your wheels linearly to the right or the left. Your Honda Prelude Steering Rack will give you great road feel and maneuverability – so take good care of it. Unfortunately, problems within the steering rack can be difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat.
