A yoke for a steering assembly that includes a rack shaft and a pinion gear disposed at a gear housing may include a first circumscribing groove extending around an outer diameter of the yoke to receive a first circumscribing O-ring to inhibit noise generation from contact between the yoke and the gear housing, and a first lateral groove disposed at a tip portion of the yoke between the pinion gear and the first O-ring assembly to receive a first lateral O-ring. The first circumscribing groove lies in a first plane substantially perpendicular to an axis of the yoke, and the first lateral groove lies in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane on a first lateral side of the yoke.
