Steering Sector Gear
This is the large, arc-shaped gear plate that moves the drag links. In stripping events, the teeth on this plate undergo plastic deformation and eventual shear failure due to improper mesh or excessive impact loads from the front wheels.

Steering Pinion Gear
The pinion gear is fixed to the steering shaft and directly interfaces with the sector gear. Because it has significantly fewer teeth than the sector gear, it experiences higher cycle counts per tooth and is often the primary site of wear or 'stripping' when misalignment occurs.

Steering Shaft Bushing
This bushing maintains the critical center-to-center distance between the pinion and sector gears. Its failure is the root cause of 'stripping' as it allows the steering shaft to wobble, shifting the gear mesh from a full-face contact to an unstable tip-contact orientation.
