Rack-and-pinion steering system for motor vehicles
First Claim
1. A rack-and-pinion steering for a motor vehicle, comprisinga rack having a longitudinal axis,a rack housing in which the rack is guided for axial displacement between two end stops which are formed in the rack housing and wherein the rack housing comprises a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface, andat least one end stop damping assembly for the rack, the end stop damping assembly being received in the rack housing,the end stop damping assembly including a compression body for damping a movement of the rack-and-pinion steering to one of the two end stops and a stop member, the stop member being mounted to the rack housing for limited displacement in a first axial direction and/or a second axial direction in relation to the rack housing, andthe stop member resting against the first supporting surface of the rack housing at least partly by means of the compression body in a first axial end position,wherein the stop member rests against the second supporting surface of the rack housing in an opposite, second axial end position,wherein the compression body is received in an axial depression in the front face of the stop member and projects axially beyond the stop member.
