Abstract
A rack and pinion steering system for a motor vehicle may include a pinion shaft that is connected to a steering shaft and has a steering pinion that is engaged with a rack mounted in a steering gear housing such that the rack can be displaced along a longitudinal axis for pivoting steerable wheels. The steering shaft, the pinion shaft with the steering pinion, and the step-down gear mechanism may be received in the steering gear housing. The rack and pinion steering system may further include an electric motor that drives the pinion shaft via a step-down gear mechanism. The step-down gear mechanism may be arranged at an end of the pinion shaft that is remote from the steering shaft.
