Abstract
A method for assembling a rack-and-pinion steering gear may involve introducing a steering pinion into a housing opening of a steering gear housing such that a region of a narrowed portion of a pinion shaft is situated at a level of a rack to be inserted, introducing the rack into the housing opening of the steering gear housing such that the rack is pushed past the narrowed portion of the pinion shaft into a setpoint position, and moving the pinion shaft farther into the steering gear housing to an end position such that a toothing region of the rack enters into engagement with a toothing of the steering pinion.
