Abstract
A steering support rack assembly and method are disclosed. The steering support rack assembly includes a linear bearing with a sliding support shaft attached to a bracket at each end of the support shaft, where the brackets are also connected to a steering assembly and tie rods of a vehicle. A steering support rack assembly includes a pair of tie brackets with a support shaft assembly coupled between the tie brackets, such that the steering support rack assembly is configured to couple to a rack and pinion assembly and tie rod assemblies of a vehicle so that a shaft of the support shaft assembly moves in combination with the rack and pinion assembly to steer the vehicle with the tie rod assemblies and increase the strength and durability of the rack and pinion assembly.
