Abstract: A vehicle steering gear apparatus comprises a pinion shaft in mesh with a rack, the pinion shaft being connectable to a steering wheel and the rack to a tie rod of a steering mechanism. The pinion shaft is supported at one end by a bearing that permits pivotal movement of the pinion shaft thereabout, and at its other end the pinion shaft is supported by a pair of bearings in a tube for axial, slidable movement. A spring acts on the tube between the pair of bearings to urge the pinion into pressure contact with the rack.
