A rack and pinion steering gear for a vehicle comprising a housing ( 2 ), a pinion ( 1 ) rotatable about a first axis ( 14 ) in the housing, a rack ( 7 ) laterally displaceable with respect to the housing, and an intermediate gear ( 8 ) interposed between, and meshing with, the pinion ( 1 ) and with the rack ( 7 ), the intermediate gear ( 8 ) rotatable about a second axis ( 9 ). The second axis ( 9 ) is laterally movable with respect to the housing as a function of at least one vehicle parameter, by an actuator mechanism, thereby varying the relationship between the angular displacement of the pinion and the lateral displacement of the rack as a function of the vehicle parameter.
