Abstract
The fastening device is designed for assembling at least two elements (1, 2) one with respect to the other and consists of a system with a screw (3) and a nut (4). An axial removable guiding stop (5) is arranged between the external surface (7) of one of the elements (1) to be assembled and the head (32) of the screw (3) or the nut (4), which accommodates the tightening torque to bear against this external surface (7) after ejection of the guiding stop (5); whereas this guiding stop (5) ensures relative temporary and axial prepositioning so that the screw (3) or the nut (4) engages correctly into the nut (4) or the screw (3). FIG. 13 Main application: Steering direction of an automotive vehicle
