Steering Rack

Uses a tolerance ring to replace the rubber O ring within the thrust yoke, this helps reduce noise and movement that is experienced by the driver.


Benefits include:

• Replaces O Ring – disintegrates over time
• Better control of radial forces over temperature range
• Reduces noise / chatter of thrust yoke and rack
• Easier to assemble

Tolerance Rings are radial spring fasteners
that are press fitted between two mating components. This generates a retention force that fixes those components together, whilst also satisfying other functional requirements such as Torque Drive, Overload Protection, NVH Performance and Differential Thermal Expansion.


Fasten annular components
Reduce noise & vibration
Compensating for thermal expansion
Predictable & repeatable slip
Avoid resonance frequencies
