Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a push rod (2) for a motor vehicle steering system (1), wherein a guide section (11) of the push rod (2) is formed with a non-circular and/or polygonal contour (12) for sliding guidance in the longitudinal direction of a central longitudinal axis (13) of the push rod (2) and for securing against rotation about the central longitudinal axis (13) of the push rod (2), by producing the contour (12) of the guide section (11) by means of a single manufacturing step in a provided blank. In order to enable a greater variety of contours when producing the contour (12) of the guide section (11) by means of the single manufacturing step, the method is characterized in that the contour (12) of the guide section (11) is formed by means of a warm forming or a cold hammer rolling forming.

Abstract: A steering angle sensor device (12) in a steering system (10) of a motor vehicle has a rotation angle sensor (34) which is connected to a gear (30) via a shaft (28) and detects a rotation of the gear (30), wherein the gear (30) is designed to mesh with a thread (20) on a steering rod (14). The steering angle sensor device (12) is designed as a pre-assembled unit with its own outer housing (24) to be mounted on a steering housing (22), in which the rotation angle sensor (34), the shaft (28) and the gear (30) are received. In the steering system (10), the outer housing (24) of the steering angle sensor device (12) can be inserted into a sensor receptacle (26) in such a way that the gear (30) meshes with the thread (20) of the steering rod (14).

Abstract: An electrically driven rack and pinion steering system of a motor vehicle has an axially displaceably mounted rack which transmits a steering movement for steered wheels of the motor vehicle, has an electric drive which provides a steering force and interacts with the rack, and has a housing which receives the rack and a drive element of the drive. The drive element is in engagement with a toothing system of the rack. A bearing assembly is arranged on a section of the rack without a toothing system axially on each side of the drive element, with a carrier cylinder, on the outer shell face of which an outer contact seal is arranged and on the inner shell face of which an inner contact seal is arranged, the contact seals sealing the housing with respect to the rack.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a connection rod unit of a vehicle steering device, having a connection rod and having an attachment which is secured directly to the connection rod and which has a tooth arrangement. The attachment is produced from a plastics material, for example from polyamide or polyoxymethylene.

Abstract: A steering system of a motor vehicle comprises a sensor device comprising a rotational angle sensor, which is connected to a toothed wheel and detects a rotation of the toothed wheel is disclosed. The toothed wheel is fitted on a steering tie rod such that it meshes with a spindle thread on the steering tie rod which is part of a ball screw drive of a servo drive of the steering system.
