An apparatus (10) for pressing a rack (12) against a pinion (14) of a steering gear assembly (16) includes a housing (18), a support yoke (20) slidably guided in the housing (18) along an axis (A), a bearing element (22) that is fixed to the housing (18) in an axial direction, a first elastic element (24) providing an axial load (F A ) acting upon the support yoke (20) and the bearing element (22) to urge the support yoke (20) against the rack (12), a wear-compensating abutment member (26) coacting with the bearing element (22) such that a relative rotation about the axis (A) generates an axial displacement of the abutment member (26) relative to the bearing element (22), and a separate, second elastic element (28) providing a load (F c ) acting upon the abutment member (26) in a circumferential direction (30) to urge the abutment member (26) against the support yoke (20). |
