An apparatus ( 10 ) for use in turning steerable vehicle wheels ( 12,14 ) includes a connector member ( 28 ) which connects a first end portion ( 70 ) of the rack ( 66 ) with a first steerable vehicle wheel ( 14 ). A second end portion ( 72 ) of the rack ( 66 ) is spaced from the second steerable vehicle wheel ( 12 ) and is free of a connection with a member which extends between the second end portion of the rack and the second steerable vehicle wheel. A force transmitting member ( 32 ) extends between the steerable vehicle wheels ( 12,14 ) and extends through a hydraulic motor ( 42 ). Upon rotation of a steering wheel, a valve connected with a pinion gear ( 62 ) effects operation of the motor ( 42 ) to turn the steerable vehicle wheels ( 12,14 ).
