Abstract

The invention relates to a steering system (10) for a motor vehicle. It is characterized in that at least one component part of the steering system (10) is made from a fiber composite material and that a strain gauge (16) for measuring a steering torque is integrated at least in parts into the fiber composite plastic material.
