attachment bracket defining a slot having an inner edge that is positioned adjacent to the plurality of teeth; and
a gearbox assembly including,
a gearset,
a pinion coupled to the gear set and comprising a plurality of pinion teeth and a nose outwardly extending therefrom, wherein the pinion is configured to rotate in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first to translate the elongated rack, and
a housing comprising an input cover and an output cover that cooperate to sandwich the gearset and wherein the output cover includes a protrusion outwardly that defines an inner diameter that receives the nose and an outer diameter that engages the inner edge of the slot such that relative movement between the plurality of pinion teeth and the plurality of teeth defined by the elongated rack is mitigated.
