Abstract:
A steering apparatus configured to inhibit a driver from feeling uncomfortable when an end bush impact occurs is provided. The steering apparatus includes a rack shaft that makes a linear motion in a rack housing in response to rotation of a steering shaft, and a ball joint fitted to an end portion of the rack shaft. The steering apparatus further includes an elastic body disposed between the rack housing and the ball joint, an end plate, and a projection of the rack housing. When the elastic body is compressively deformed due to collision of the ball joint with the elastic body, the end plate comes into contact with the projection to restrict compressive deformation of the elastic body by an amount exceeding a length. The length is set larger than a length of a compression deformation length with respect to an axial force due to a reverse input.
