A rack and pinion steering mechanism for motor vehicles is provided in which the machining of the rack is facilitated and the effective length of the unit is reduced with a reduction in the distance between the centers of the two ball joints. The unit comprises a carrier, a toothed rack pivotally mounted by one of its ends on the carrier, which is slideable within the casing a pinion carried by the casing engages the toothed rack; and a resilient device urges the toothed rack into mesh with the pinion. |
