Abstract: A power steering assembly for an electro-mechanical power steering system of motor vehicles, in particular utility vehicles, includes a steering gear. The steering gear is designed to transmit a rotational movement introduced by a steering element, in particular by a steering wheel, via an input side of the steering gear, in particular via an input shaft of the steering gear, to an output side of the steering gear. The power steering assembly is designed to convert a movement derived from the output side of the steering gear into a rotational movement of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle about a steering axis. The power steering assembly is characterized in that the power steering assembly has an absorption unit for at least partial absorption of roadside shocks from the wheel of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A steering method for an autonomously steered vehicle having a hybrid steering system, including: identifying a malfunction during an autonomous driving procedure, wherein the hybrid steering system includes a hydraulic steering assistance system, an electromechanical steering assistance system and a control unit for monitoring and controlling the autonomous driving procedure of the vehicle, and switching the steering task by the control unit to a steering braking procedure, by which the vehicle is steered by braking at least one wheel, wherein due to the braking force that is acting on the scrub radius, a steering torque is produced that causes the wheels to turn. Also described is a related a servo-assisted steering assembly.
