Abstract:
A steering system is provided. The steering system may include a drive pulley and a ball nut assembly. The drive pulley may be operatively connected to a drive shaft. The ball nut assembly may be driven by the drive pulley via a belt disposed about the drive pulley and the ball nut assembly. The ball nut assembly may include a ball nut and a driven pulley. The ball nut may have an inner surface disposed about a ball screw that defines and extends along a first axis and an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface. The ball nut may define a first groove that extends from the outer surface towards the inner surface. The driven pulley may be disposed about the ball nut and have a retaining member that includes a finger for extending into the first groove to engage the ball nut and driven pulley without separate fasteners.
