A wear compensator to compensate wear between a rack and a pinion including a yoke plug, a pin affixed to the yoke plug, jaws that surrounds the pin, a disc spring sandwiched between the yoke plug and the jaws, a stage compensator that receives and slides along the jaws to provide a frictional force, a rack guide in contact with the rack, a spring extending between the stage compensator and the rack guide, wherein when the rack guide transfers to the stage compensator a first load above a predetermined threshold, the frictional force overcomes prevents the spring disc to push the stage compensator towards the rack, and when the rack guide transfers to the stage compensator a second load below the predetermined threshold, the frictional force allows the spring disc to push the stage compensator towards the rack.
