Claim:
1. A rack-and-pinion steering, comprising a toothed rack having a longitudinal axis, a toothed rack housing in which the toothed rack is guided for axial displacement between two end stops, and an end stop damping assembly for axially damping the displacement of the toothed rack at the end stops, which includes a plurality of stop rings, one of which serves as an attachment ring attaching the end stop damping assembly to the toothed rack housing and a further stop ring is contacted on the end face by the toothed rack or an intermediate part at least in the axial end stop, and at least one elastic compression body, the compression body surrounding the toothed rack, and a spring/damping section of the compression body having an axial length in a non-loaded condition, at least one of the stop rings having a continuously surrounding axial guide extension which is located radially inside in relation to the compression body and has an axial length, wherein the axial length of the axial guide extension is smaller than the axial length of the spring/damping section of the compression body, wherein the spring/damping section of the compression body is axially arranged between two stop rings, and wherein at least one axial attachment extension for the at least one of the stop rings is formed on the compression body, wherein the stop rings are rigid; wherein the at least one axial attachment extension rests against the outer surface of a radially outer cylindrical section of the at least one of the stop rings.
