ABSTRACT:
A steering gear assembly (12) for a vehicle having steerable wheels includes a housing (14) defining a chamber (16) and a piston (18) movable through a work stroke in the chamber. The piston (18) is connected for movement with the steerable wheels of the vehicle. An actuator assembly (10) for adjusting the end-of-stroke position of the piston (18) is mounted in the housing (14) in a first orientation. The adjusting assembly (10) is removable from the housing (14), and is mountable in the housing in a second orientation opposite to the first orientation to reset the end-of-stroke position of the piston. The adjusting assembly (10) includes a pin (130) press fit in a sleeve (110) and movable in the sleeve to set the end-of-stroke position of the piston (18). The pin (130) and sleeve (110) are movable from a first position mounted in the housing (14) in a first orientation to a second position in which the pin and sleeve are mounted in the housing in a second orientation opposite to the first orientation.
