Steering Racks

Bring Back Control with Heavy-Duty UTV Steering Racks

The steering rack in your UTV plays a critical role: it converts your steering wheel input into movement of the front wheels, letting you turn, weave, and tackle whatever terrain you throw at it. In short, it translates rotational motion into linear motion—pointing your machine exactly where you want it to go.

What Does a UTV Steering Rack Do?

• Converts Steering Input: Turning the wheel rotates a gear called the pinion, which meshes with a toothed bar called the rack. This moves the rack left or right.
• Controls Wheel Direction: The rack connects to tie rods, which push or pull the front wheels as the rack moves, changing their direction.
• Delivers Precise Control: This setup ensures smooth, accurate response so your UTV stays dialed on every trail.
• Assists Power Steering (if equipped): Many UTVs with electric or hydraulic power steering link the rack to assist systems that reduce turning effort—especially useful at low speeds or in technical terrain.
