RACK MOUNT

A rack mount is a component that connects the steering rack to the frame or suspension of a vehicle. In a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, the rack mount is typically located at the front of the vehicle, and is responsible for securing the steering rack in place and transmitting the forces from the steering wheel to the steering rack.

The rack mount typically consists of a metal bracket that is bolted or welded to the frame or suspension of the vehicle, and a rubber or polyurethane bushing that sits between the bracket and the steering rack. The bushing is designed to provide a flexible connection between the frame and the steering rack, which helps to isolate the steering rack from road vibrations and reduce noise and vibration inside the vehicle.

The rack mount is a crucial component of the steering system, it helps to keep the steering rack in place and plays an important role in maintaining the stability, handling and safety of the vehicle. It is typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum and is designed to withstand the stresses of everyday driving. It is also a wear and tear item that may require replacement over time.
