The Omni Manual Rear Steering Gear Assembly (Rack & Pinion) is a rear‑mounted, manual‑operation steering component originally designed for 1978–1983 Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon and related models. It converts steering wheel rotational motion into linear rack movement to precisely control front‑wheel angle, widely used in OEM replacement and street‑rod/custom vehicle builds.
