The last two paragraphs don't explain what a rack and pinion steering mechanism is. They are technical definitions. Can you point me to other WP articles that include this kind of technical definition? When I read other scientific articles on WP they are not this technical. They explain things, which is what an encyclopedia is supposed to do. Suggestion: Either delete them or explain them, but don't leave them as is. Markewilliams ( talk) 04:16, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

bleh. this is WAY too short. i need to base a whole research paper on this tidbit of info!
so do i
For comparison with other steering mechanism's take a look at Steering :)
I've tried to tidy it up a bit, picture of rack and pinion steering moved to the right, Refrences have been moved down a bit so that the image did not distort it, and the link to Rack and Pinion Railway has been moved to the top (it was right on the bottom) so that anyone looking for rack and pinion railways doesnt need to read the whole article to get the link ;) Silica-gel ( talk) 11:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
"has been fitted to many new vehicles, such as the 2008 Honda Accord"
Why the specific mention of a 2008 Honda Accord? What does that add to the article?

I included the article in the Actuator category, but User:Wizard191 disagreed and removed the article from that category. According to the actuator article "An actuator is a mechanical device for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. It takes energy, usually transported by air, electric current, or liquid, and converts that into some kind of motion." My undertanding is that a rack and pinion assembly is one of the most basic forms of linear actuator. It permits conversion of the rotary motion of the pinion into the linear motion of the rack, and thus qualifies a member of the actuator family. That said, I am open to a discussion as to why the rack and pinion would not fall into the actuator category. -- Catsquisher ( talk) 07:54, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Steering mechanism is used for changing the direction of wheel's axle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.21.77.162 ( talk) 22:04, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Maybe rack and pinion was not used in European firearms before 1600 but there were rack and pinion winches for crossbows used in Europe before 1500.
