<p>A gear assembly, for example for use in a vehicle steering assembly, includes a rack (14) and pinion system (18) in which the output shaft (18) is rotatably supported in eccentric bushings (24, 26) mounted in the gear housing (10). Rotation of the bushings relative to the housing changes the alignment of the output shaft. In order to lock the bushings in position relative to the housing, each includes a projection (40), for example a steel ball which engages and deforms the material of the housing and fixes the bushing in position. In an alternative embodiment the steel ball is mounted in the housing and engages and deforms the bushing.</p> |
