Hmmm, rack and pinion vs. recirculating ball . . . never really thought about it.
Wonder what my other cars use? Let me go check . . . google, etc. . . 5 minutes pass . . . Ah, here we go.
My 2005 4Runner has rack and pinion.
My 2001 Accord V6 has rack and pinion.
. . . Not sure that it matters to me.

I like 'em, and the way they drive.
Guess that's good enough for me - .
