Abstract
A steering system is provided. The steering system includes a housing and a ball shaft translatable relative to the housing. A ball nut is rotatably mounted within the housing. Rotation of the ball nut responsively causes the ball shaft to translate relative to the ball nut and the housing. The ball shaft has an opening extending therethrough. A pin is separate from the ball shaft and inserted into the opening. The pin engages the housing to limit rotation of the ball shaft relative to the housing.
