A serrated component (10) for use in a progressive steering gear includes first and second inclined prong ramps (14, 16). The first and second inclined prong ramps (14, 16) include a plurality of prongs (20, 50) each having a first flank angle and a second flank angle with respect to a center plane (48) that extends normal to a longitudinal direction (34) of the serrated component (10). For at least 50% of the prongs (20, 50) of the plurality of prongs (20, 50), the first flank angles have a single first angle value and the second flank angles have a single second angle value, the first angle value corresponding to a reflection of the second angle value at the center plane (48). The invention further comprises a progressive steering gear, a method of manufacturing a serrated component, and a method of manufacturing a steering gear.
