About the piece:
The steering rack in Mazda vehicles is an essential part of the steering system. Its primary role is to convert the rotational motion of the steering wheel into lateral motion of the vehicle's wheels, allowing the driver to control the vehicle's direction easily and precisely.
Its function:
- Drive: Transfers steering wheel movement to the front wheels to change the direction of the vehicle.
- Steering Ease: Works with other steering system components to provide a comfortable and easy ride.
- Reduce effort: In modern cars, it works with the power steering system to reduce the effort needed to steer the car.
- Ensures precise response: contributes to improving the vehicle's response when turning or changing direction.
Symptoms of damage:
- Difficulty steering: Feeling heavy or difficult to turn the steering wheel.
- Abnormal noises: Hearing clicking or squeaking sounds when turning the steering wheel.
- Steering wheel vibration: Feeling a noticeable vibration while driving or when standing and turning the steering wheel.
- Steering oil leak: Seeing oil leaking under the car in the steering wheel area.
