Abstract
The invention relates to a servo-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system having a helical-toothed rack and an axially movable pinion which interacts therewith and the axial movement of which controls the servomotor. The pinion is mounted on an input shaft in such a manner as to be incapable of rotation with respect to the shaft but axially movable thereon, in order to suppress the transmission of axial forces between the input shaft and the pinion.
