A method of assembling an electric power steering assembly includes providing a shaft that extends along a longitudinal axis between a first shaft end and a second shaft end. The method further includes extruding or drawing the shaft through a die to define a spline that extends between the first shaft end and the second shaft end. The spline includes a first tooth having a first tip. The method still further includes applying a sleeve over a portion of the spline, such that the sleeve extends from the second shaft end towards the first shaft end.
