ABSTRACT:
The pinion of a rack and pinion steering mechanism is assembled in a case by means of two bearings mounted on two bearing portions at each end of the pinion which are integral parts of the pinion. The bearings are capable of acting as two axial abutments for the pinion. One of the bearings is a cup acting as a smooth bearing. Longitudinally extending lubricating grooves are provided in the bearing portion within the cup. These grooves are extensions of the spare between roots of the gear teeth of the pinion and are machined by causing the tooth cutter to continue beyond the pinion and thereby cut the grooves in the bearing portion.
