How car works with power staring?
Simply put: When your engine is running. It turns your power steering pump. Which pressurizes your power steering fluid. The fluid is sent via hose, to your power steering rack, or stearing gear box. (racks in most newer cars, gear boxes in older cars and some newer trucks) The pressurized fluid is then used to assist your steering input from the steering wheel.
Where are Rack and pinion gears used?
automobile steering, lathe etc
What is Variable ratio rack and pinion steering?
Variable ratio (VR) steering means that the ratio between the steering wheel and the wheels (tires) is not constant. Depending on the position of the steering wheel the car wheels may be more or less sensitive to steering wheel rotation. Practically, when you drive straight (steering wheels in neutral position) the steering ratio is about 2 times higher compare to steering ration when you are parking (steering wheels is away from neutral position). Variable ratio rack and pinion is used in VR steering. It was originally invented in Australia and later improved in the USA. Variable ratio rack and pinion software is used for calculation of the complex tooth surface of the vr rack.
If a spool valve is bad on a steering rack can that be repaired or does the whole steering rack have to be changed?
Generally it would be cheaper to replace the unit with a used one from a salvage yard. If the power steering fluid has metal particles in it the pump has failed. At this point the entire system including pump, hoses and rack should be swapped out. The reason is that you can NEVER get all the abrasives out of the plumbing and if you replace just the spool valve contamination in the fluid will quickly destroy your repair work.

How do you repair 2003 Saturn ion power steering?
You are asking the wrong question.First, all power steering systems are basically identical. There may be a few minor differences, but the principle is the same; hydraulic pressure is used to assist you as you turn the steering wheel.The hydraulic pressure comes from a hydraulic pump. In the case of the power steering, it's called a power steering pump. The pump can fail to provide hydraulic pressure if it isout of fluid (leaked out somewhere such as the pump seal or one of the hoses)the belt is slippingthe pump is worn or damaged.If the pump is working, the next part to look at would be the rack and pinion steering assembly.Once you have verified that the power steering pump works, and that there is sufficient fluid, the rest of the power steering mechanism is inside the rack and pinion. As you turn the steering wheel, a valve opens that allows pressure to help push the steering one way or the other. If any of those parts aren't working, about the only thing to do is to replace the rack & pinion with a rebuilt or new unit.So, rather than take a shotgun approach to power steering repair, understand that you need to find the problem and replace the failed part. It's the same for all vehicle repair.
