An electromechanical power steering system for a motor vehicle may include a driving worm that is driven by an electric motor and acts on a worm gear that is coupled to a steering shaft. The driving worm may be mounted in such a way that it can rotate about its worm axis. More particularly, the driving worm may be mounted in a bearing that is held in a mount. The mount may prestress the driving worm in a direction of the worm gear. In some examples, the mount is torsionally weak about a torsion axis that is positioned perpendicularly with respect to the worm axis.
