Oldsmobile Omega Rack And Pinion

The Rack And Pinion is a steering equipment of the Oldsmobile Omega that translates the rotation of the steering wheel into lateral movement of the front wheels. This mechanism uses a rack and pinion system where the pinion gear works on the rack gear which is contained by a metallic casing to provide control on the steering. Oldsmobile Omega models of the past have used both manual rack and pinion steering as well as power assisted rack and pinion. Some of the initial models boast manual racks as the most recent designs almost exclusively incorporate hydraulic power assist that improves the steering ease as the pressurised fluid is directed to a mechanical piston in the rack. This design provides a better response but can create problems such as leakage of fluids and wearing down of seals thus requires constant attention to deliver the premier. Altogether, the Rack And Pinion is a crucial part of the Omega's drive and stability.

Each OEM Oldsmobile Omega Rack And Pinion we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
