ABSTRACT:
A rack and pinion steering assembly includes a housing with a first bore for rotatably receiving the pinion and a second bore for movably receiving the rack. A support member slidably engages the rack and includes a pair of arms opposing the wall of the first bore to prevent separation of the support member and rack away from the pinion. A resilient cooperates with one of the arms to bias the support member to pivot about the other arm. An optional ring cooperates with the other arm to adjust the position of the support member and the rack to take up wear between the rack and pinion or between the rack and support member.
