摘要

The system (1) has a gear rod (3) extended by a steering housing (2), where the gear rod comprises a teeth section (4) and a thread section (17). A ball screw nut (13) cooperates with the thread section of the gear rod to interpret a drive torque of an engine (8) into an axial force in the gear rod. A joint (20) e.g. cardanic joint, connects the gear rod between the teeth section and the thread section. The joint couples two separate gear rod sections with one another, where the joint comprises a ball body and a ball socket.
