Rack and Pinion steering is the most modern type of steering in new vehicles. A "rack" and a "pinion" are two tools in which help the vehicle to turn easier. When you turn the steering wheel in your car, the pinion's gear spins along the rack, allowing your vehicle to turn.

Type your answer here... by using simple rack and pinion arrangement
It is almost certainly unsafe to drive a car with a damaged rack and pinion. The rack and pinion are the means by which inputs on the steering wheel are passed to the road wheels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion). If the rack and pinion were to fail while the car was being driven, the driver would lose control of the vehicle's steering. If you suspect your rack and pinion to be damaged, the car should be inspected by a qualified mechanic before being driven. Depending on the type of damage, it may be possible to drive the car to a repair shop, or it may need to be towed.
It depends on the type of vehicle and the steering system that it has. If the vehicle has rack and pinion steering, it may be a bad rack and pinion. If the vehicle has a steering gear, like most older cars of pickup trucks, It could have a bad steering gear.
Rack and pinion steering is a different type of steering mechanism available in different vehicles and is proven to help maintain easier control of the vehicle at high speeds. It is not essential to drive a car as there are many other types of steering mechanisms available.

worn seals on the power steering rack and pinion. In my case it was worse on the drivers side. Going rate for local mechanics to change is around $600+. For the DIY type its about $200 for rack, fluid, hoses (if needed), and tools (nothing special required). Oh yeah and about a full day to take off/put on. Then a front end alignment.
