Mercury Cougar Rack And Pinion is an important unit that allows the rotational motion of the steering wheel to cause lateral motion of front wheels. This arrangement is called a rack and pinion; gear assembly of this system is housed in a metallic tube fixed on the chassis while the steering column shaft is connected on a pinion gear. The majority of the contemporary autos from Cougar use power assisted rack and pinion steering systems, that are aided by pressurized fluid, and they change the position of the rack with the tube and the front tires. However, before the introduction of power operated ones, manual rack and pinions were used in automobiles particularly in small cars. Standard problems which are associated with rack and pinion assemblies include breakage of O-ring seals, and corrosion of power steering hoses depending on the climate of the region and leading to stack steering and grinding sounds. If the gears worn then the vehicle wanders and has a loose steering and if the rotary valve leaks then it pulls the vehicle to one side. It can be implied that timely recognition, maintenance and replacement of damaged components will help in making the Steering Rack to work effectively in the control and feedback of the Mercury Cougar vehicles' steering.
