Abstract: A pinion support is disclosed for use with a motor set on a gear box casing and an output drive pinion having an axial recess at the outer end of the pinion. The pinion support includes a housing which is rigidly secured against movement to the gear box casing and includes a portion which overlies the outer end of the pinion. A pin is rigidly secured to the portion of the housing and this pin extends coaxially into the axial recess at the outer end of the pinion. A bearing assembly is operatively positioned between an outer surface of the pin and an inner surface of the pinion recess. The pinion support is particularly well suited for use in an automotive framing system.
