A rack and pinion steering system for a motor vehicle may include a pinion shaft that is connected to a steering shaft and includes a steering pinion that is engaged with a rack that is mounted in a gear housing such that the rack can be displaced along a longitudinal axis for pivoting steerable wheels. The rack and pinion steering system may also include an electric motor that drives the pinion shaft via a step-down gear mechanism. An overall arrangement of the rack, the pinion shaft, and the step-down gear mechanism may be received in the gear housing. Further, the gear housing may be a single-piece gear housing.
