Abstract
An annular stopper (22) made of synthetic resin is inserted into a housing (5). The housing (5) contains a rack (4) meshing with a pinion which rotates according to steering operation. A reaction force acts on the stopper (22) so that the inward movement of the stopper (22) into the housing (5) is restrained. At least part of the reaction force acts on an end face (22c) of the stopper (22) when the stopper (22) restrains the rack (4) from moving into one direction.
