A worm drive for a power steering system of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The worm drive includes a worm gear, a worm which meshes with the worm gear, and an electric motor which drives the worm. One side of the worm is connected by a coupling to the electric motor and the other side of the worm is mounted in a floating bearing. The coupling consists of a hub and an elastic spring bush. The floating bearing is oval-shaped in order to allow vertical movements of the worm, and the worm is spring-loaded on the worm gear by the coupling.
