ABSTRACT:
A method for mounting a steering angle and steering torque sensor to a steering has the following steps: At first, there is provided a steering angle and steering torque sensor which includes a housing and a rotor. Then, the rotor and the housing are rotated through a predetermined angular amount with respect to a zero position, and the rotor is attached to a steering shaft that is provided with a pinion toothing. Finally, the steering shaft is inserted into a steering gear which includes a toothed rack, the housing being fixed in place at the steering gear in a predetermined angular position, and the steering shaft being rotated together with the rotor by the pinion toothing engaging in the toothed rack, until the rotor has returned to the zero position relative to the housing.
