A servo-steering mechanism for vehicles with a feedback of a load-dependent reaction moment onto the steering hand wheel by means of at least one reaction pressure cylinder connected with a working pressure chamber, in which a reaction pressure piston operating onto the steering hand wheel is adapted to be actuated in one direction of its piston axis by the working pressure and in the other direction of its piston axis is adapted to be supported at a support spring and is also adapted to come into abutment at a stop fixed relative to the reaction pressure cylinder, when the working pressure has been brought to a value corresponding to the prestress of the support spring; between its starting position with an unstressed support spring and its shut-off or turn-off position at the associated stop the reaction pressure piston thereby comes into additional abutment at least at one reducing spring counteracting the working pressure, whereby the reducing spring is adapted to be supported either directly or by way of at least one further reducing spring at a counter abutment of the reaction pressure cylinder.
