Steering Gear Box



The steering gear box is a vital part of a vehicle's steering system. The steering gear box is attached to the vehicle's chassis and it responds to specific steering wheel input. Based on the directiong and distance of the steering wheel turned, the steering gear box moves the wheels accordingly. There are recirculating ball bearings inside of the steering gear box's worm gear which reduce friction and slop. The gear and the bearings respond to steering input translated by the pitman arm which is a key component of the steering gear box system.

The steering gear box is no longer a standard in steering and is being replaced by other mroe sophisticated steering systems. However, many trucks, vans, buses, and SUVs still have a steering gear box. This is because the application of a steering gear box in larger vehicles dramatically improves steering and turning. These are typically power steering gear box units which employ a hydraulic pump. The power steering gear box pump is powered by the engine through a pulley and belt.
