Recirculating ball, also known as recirculating ball and nut or worm and sector, is a steering mechanism commonly found in older automobiles, and some trucks. Most newer cars use the more economical rack and pinion steering instead, but some manufacturers (including Chrysler and General Motors) still use this technology in some models; e.g., the Jeep Wrangler and the Crossfire for the durability and strength inherent in the design.

Famous quotes containing the word ball:
“I never knew anyone yet who got up at six who did anything more useful between that time and breakfast than banging a tennis ball up against the side of the house, waiting for the more civilized members of the party to get up.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
