Wear-compensation device for a gear

A wear-compensating assisted-steering mechanism for a motor vehicle comprising:

• a gear;
• a fixed support capable of being fixed axially on an external element in order to keep the wear-compensating assisted-steering mechanism for a motor vehicle on the external element;
• a bearing designed to be mounted on a shaft comprising a wheel of the gear;
• an eccentric mounted on the bearing and designed to be in contact with the external element, the eccentric being able to move angularly relative to the fixed support;
• a torsion spring mounted axially between the fixed support and the eccentric and capable of exerting a circumferential preload force on the eccentric, the torsion spring comprising a first end mounted inside a recess of the eccentric and a second end cooperating with the fixed support;
• and
• one of a steering column and a steering rack in operational communication with the gear,
• wherein the second end of the torsion spring abuts against a bearing lug of the fixed support.
