ABSTRACT:
A power-assisted steering device for a vehicle. The two parts (13A and 13B) of the steering column have the limited relative angular play permitting an angular offset of the rotor discs (23A, 23B) of the distributor (21). The parts (13A and 13B) are coupled by a torsion bar (52). An annular sealing gasket (70) is engaged in the perforation (50) of at least one of the parts (13A and 13B) round the main portion (53) of the torsion bar (52) and is applied against a widened head (56) of this torsion bar (52). The torsion bar (52) has, between the main portion (53) and the widened head (56), a fillet (57) against which the annular sealing gasket (70, 70') wedges itself. In this way, perfect leak-tightness is provided between the distributor (21) and the outside environment.
