ABSTRACT:
A steering gear mechanism includes a housing and a worm gear having an input portion. The worm gear is supported for rotation in the housing. A sector gear has teeth in meshing engagement with teeth formed on the worm gear. The sector gear has an output portion. A circumferentially expandable spring pin supports the sector gear for pivotal movement relative to the housing and biases the sector gear into meshing engagement with the worm gear to compensate for wear of the gears. The housing has means for supporting the spring pin.
