Abstract
A steering clamp yoke includes a first side surface and a second side surface. The first side surface has a first surface segment and a second surface segment that is disposed in a non-parallel relationship with the first surface segment. The non-parallel relationship between the second surface segment and the first surface segment enables a bolt that is inserted into a bolt hole of the steering clamp yoke to contact both sides of the bolt hole to reduce or minimize bolt bending.
