Isn't the rack-and-pinion for steering, not for power transmission to wheels?

Yes rack and pinion is for steering. Parent may have meant "ring and pinion" which would refer to the differential gear ratio.

Yes, you're right of course. Thank you.

I was wondering, because I seemed to connect the expression with steering as well :-) At least I have the excuse of not being a native speaker.
