second embodiment
[0046]Referring now to FIG. 5, there is illustrated an anti-lash assembly, indicated generally at 500, produced in accordance with the present invention. Because the anti-lash assembly 500 is a variation of the anti-lash assembly 200 of FIGS. 3 and 4, like reference numerals, increased by 300, designate corresponding parts in the drawings and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0047]As shown in FIG. 5, using a suitable method known to those skilled in the art, the spring 504 may be fabricated to produce a moment about an axis perpendicular to the rack axis X2. For example, as illustrated, the spring 504 may be asymmetrical about the rack axis X2. The moment is produced as the bushing 502 is tightened and the spring 504 is compressed. The moment rotates the bushing 502 such that a first gap H1 on a first side 528 of the bushing 502 is less than a second gap H2 on a second side 530 of the bushing 502, the second side 530 being opposite the first side 528. The first gap H1 be...
third embodiment
[0048]Referring now to FIG. 6, there is illustrated a power steering anti-lash assembly, indicated generally at 800, produced in accordance with the present invention. Because the anti-lash assembly 800 is a variation of the anti-lash assembly 200 of FIGS. 3 and 4, like reference numerals, increased by 600, designate corresponding parts in the drawings and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0049]As shown in FIG. 6, the anti-lash assembly 800 has an alternative fastener 814 comprising a pin 836 between the bushing 802 and the ball nut 672. The pin 836 is conventional in the art and restrains the bushing 802 from rotating about the rack axis X2. For example, the pin 836 may have an enlarged head and be restrained by a cotter pin.
