Abstract
A steering gear includes an elongate member having a screw thread portion adjacent one end thereof and a rack portion adjacent the other end thereof. The steering gear also includes a steering input shaft and a pinion gear rotatable by the input shaft. The pinion gear meshes with the rack portion of the elongate member. An electric motor is adjacent the screw thread portion of the elongate member. A ball nut is rotatable by said electric motor and cooperates with the screw thread portion to move the elongate member axially upon rotation of the ball nut. A linkage is attached to the elongate member intermediate the screw thread portion and the rack portion to effect axial movement of the linkage upon axial movement of the elongate member. The linkage turns steerable vehicle wheels upon movement of the linkage.
