Abstract

A steering shaft temporary support structure of a vehicle is connected by a yoke, and includes: a bulkhead that is mounted on surfaces of a dash panel and a housing inside the vehicle, surrounds an engine compartment, and is formed with an opening into which a steering shaft is inserted; and a dust cover that forms an insert passage of the steering shaft to correspond to the opening of the bulkhead, wherein the bulkhead includes a locking protrusion in which an end portion of the yoke is supported so as to not be separated in a downward direction.
