A steering shaft for a motor vehicle steering system may be used in connection with a variety of power assistance mechanisms. The steering shaft may comprise a first shaft part and a second shaft part that are rotationally-elastically coupled by way of a torsion bar. In order to transmit torque, the torsion bar may be received in a bore of the first shaft part and coupled to both the first and second shaft parts. In many cases, a first end of the torsion bar is coupled to the first shaft part, and a second end of the torsion bar is coupled to the second shaft part. The torsion bar may be mounted in the bore such that it can be rotated with respect to the first shaft part via a bearing element. In some examples, the bearing element comprises a prestressing element. |
