Abstract
A tilting structure for providing a force for tilting a worm shaft of an electric power steering apparatus to a worm wheel includes: a guide block which is inserted into an insertion space of a housing of the electric power steering apparatus; an elastic member which is disposed within the guide block; and a plug which is movably disposed within the guide block and is elastically supported by the elastic member to exert a tilting force to a bearing which supports the worm shaft. The plug and the guide block are configured to be able to be connected to one another via a thread coupling.
