Abstract: A power steering assembly is provided. The power steering assembly may include a housing, a first bearing, a second bearing, a worm, and a worm gear. The first bearing is disposed within the housing and defines a first central axis. The second bearing is disposed within the housing and defines a second central axis offset from the first central axis. The first bearing and the second bearing are arranged with the housing such that the second bearing is movable to align the first central axis with the second central axis responsive to a load applied to the second bearing.
