Abstract

In a motor-driven steering apparatus structured such that a motor-driven steering assist unit is interposed between a steering shaft in a handle side and a wheel side steering member, and an input shaft connected to the steering shaft of the motor-driven steering assist unit and an output shaft connected to the wheel side steering member are coupled by a torsion bar and arranged on the same center axis, reference angle position marks are applied to portions existing at the same angle position around the same center axis of the input shaft and the output shaft, in a neutral steering state in which a steering force is not applied to the input shaft of the motor-driven steering assist unit.
