1. A vehicle comprising:

a steering system comprising:

a steering gear housing;

a transmission rod arranged in the steering gear housing;

a bearing part arranged in the steering gear housing, the bearing part mounting the transmission rod; and

a gear cover received on the steering gear housing and arranged adjacent to the bearing part such that a side face of the bearing part facing the gear cover forms a supporting face for the gear cover,

wherein, on a side which faces the bearing part, the gear cover has a supporting structure which delimits a central opening in the gear cover for the transmission rod and in which the supporting structure includes a reinforcing structure of the gear cover which encloses the central opening.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein said bearing part includes two bearing segment disks, each subtending an angle of 90° of said circumference and disposed diametrically opposite each other.

3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein said bearing part includes two bearing segment disks, each subtending an angle of less than 180° of said circumference.

4. A steering system for a vehicle, comprising:

a steering gear housing;

a transmission rod arranged in the steering gear housing;

a bearing part arranged in the steering gear housing, the bearing part mounting the transmission rod; and,

a gear cover received on the steering gear housing and arranged adjacent to the bearing part such that a side face of the bearing part facing the gear cover forms a supporting face for the gear cover,

wherein, on a side which faces the bearing part, the gear cover has a supporting structure which delimits a central opening in the gear cover for the transmission rod and in which the supporting structure includes a reinforcing structure of the gear cover which encloses the central opening.

5. The steering system of claim 4 , wherein said bearing part includes two bearing segment disks, each subtending an angle of 90° of said circumference and disposed diametrically opposite each other.

6. The steering system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the gear cover comprises a plastic material.

7. The steering system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the gear cover is fixed on the steering gear housing without a screw connection.

8. The steering system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the gear cover is fixed on the steering gear housing via a latching connection.

9. The steering system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bearing part is configured as a bearing disk.

10. The steering system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bearing part is configured as a bearing segment disk.

11. The steering system of claim 5 , wherein said bearing part includes two bearing segment disks, each subtending an angle of less than 180° of said circumference.
