Abstract
An automatic clearance compensation device for a support yoke of a rack-pinion type steering apparatus, includes: a hollow yoke cylinder integrally formed with a rack housing, wherein the yoke cylinder is positioned at the opposite side of a rack gear formed at a rack bar; a support yoke slidably inserted within the yoke cylinder and formed with a groove at its one side to be in contact with the outer surface of the rack bar; a spacer assembly installed within the yoke cylinder, contacting the other side of the support yoke. The device can automatically compensate for the clearance created due to the wear between the rack bar and the support yoke. Even when the external impacts are reversely transmitted, the device can remove the noise generated between the support yoke and the yoke plug.
