ABSTRACT:
A housing for rack and pinion gears incorporates a downward facing slot. The rack slides on a bearing surface above the slot and includes a centrally mounted flange extending downwardly through the slot for mounting tie rod ends. The pinion gear is carried in a bushing and bearing and engages the upper gear tooth surface of the rack. Extremes of travel of the rack are accommodated by flexible boots covering the open ends of the housing.
