A power steering rack was a great invention to automobiles because it allowed driving to be much easier. Evidence of power steering being introduced to vehicles dates back as far as 1876 but more practical steering racks similar to what we have today date back to around 1926. Power steering was not as common before in older cars because cars were not as heavy so they could be steered more easily. However, modern cars are much heavier, have front wheel drive and wider tires, which all increase the need for more steering effort. Besides power steering racks, there are also manual steering racks, which aren’t very common today. These are harder to steer because a lot more effort by the driver is required. So you may find a Toyota manual steering rack on older, lighter Toyotas.
