Abstract: In a device for pressing a steering rack against a pinion, having a thrust member and a setting element, it is provided that the thrust member and the setting element each have contact faces aligned with one another which, in a basic position, abut against each other, at least one of the contact faces being flexible. The thrust member has a thrust-member body and a pin which projects in the direction of the setting element and whose exposed end takes the form of a contact face. The setting element has at least a two-part configuration, made up of an adjusting screw and a spring washer. The spring washer is disposed between the adjusting screw and the thrust member, and forms the contact face for the exposed end of the pin.

Abstract: A rack-and-pinion steering system, in particular for a motor vehicle, has a steering housing and a pinion which is inserted into the steering housing If. A rack whose toothing engages with the pinion is mounted so as to be axially displaceable in the steering housing. The rack-and-pinion steering system has a circulation lubrication system with lubricating oil, an arrangement for conveying lubricating oil from a lubricating-oil reservoir conveying lubricating oil to the toothing engagement location between the rack and the pinion.

Abstract: A rack-and-pinion steering system 1, in particular for a motor vehicle, has a steering housing 2 and a pinion 3which is inserted into the steering housing 2. A rack 4 whose toothing 5 engages with the pinion 3 is mounted so as to be axially displaceable in the steering housing 2. The rack-and-pinion steering system 1 has a circulation lubrication system with lubricating oil 8, means 7 for conveying lubricating oil 8 from a lubricating-oil reservoir 6 conveying lubricating oil 8 to the toothing engagement location 9 between the rack 4 and the pinion 3.
