4.65357 DT Steering gear

Basically, it takes the turning motion from your steering wheel and translates it into the movement that turns your front wheels. It’s a pretty mechanical process, using gears – hence the name! It has a pinion gear that meshes with a rack gear, and that back and forth movement is what actually steers the car. Modern ones often have power assist built in, making it easier to turn the wheel, especially at lower speeds. Some steering gears also include things like variable assist – meaning it’s easier to steer at parking speeds but firms up at highway speeds. It’s a core part of your steering system, obviously. Think of it as the key link between what you want to do with the steering wheel and what the tires actually do. It works with all the other steering and suspension components – tie rod ends, ball joints, the steering column – to let you control the direction of the vehicle. It’s mounted to the vehicle’s frame, so it’s a pretty robust piece of equipment. Well, without a functioning steering gear, you simply can’t steer. It’s a safety – critical component. If it starts to fail, you'll notice things like wandering on the road, excessive play in the steering wheel, or even difficulty turning. Sometimes you’ll hear noises like clicking or groaning when you turn. Even a small leak in a power steering rack can cause problems. It acts like a shield protecting you from losing control of the vehicle. It’s one of those things you really don’t want to ignore if it’s going bad. You can find a replacement steering gear, and all the parts to go with it, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking. Replacing it before it completely fails is always the safest bet. DT stands by its products: Steering Gear (MPN 4.65357) includes a 12-month warranty!
