An electric power assisted steering system for vehicles is disclosed. The system includes an electric motor drive having a motor housing, a motor shaft, and at least a first bearing and a second bearing for mounting the motor shaft. At least one bearing plate receives one of the first and second bearings and the other of the first and second bearings is fixed in place on the motor housing in a radial direction. The system further includes a worm gear shaft operably connected to the motor shaft so as to be driven by the motor shaft, a worm gear wheel received in a transmission housing, the worm gear shaft meshing with the worm gear wheel, and at least one elastic element elastically coupling the at least one bearing plate to the motor housing such that the motor housing can tilt with respect to the at least one bearing plate.
