Abstract

A rear wheel steering apparatus for a vehicle includes a housing including a cylinder portion and a connection cover, an electric motor housed in the housing, a speed reduction mechanism housed in the housing, a linear motion mechanism including a nut member and a rod for converting a rotation of the nut member to a linear motion of the rod, the cylinder portion including a stopper portion provided at an inner surface of thereof between the electric motor and the speed reduction mechanism, a cylindrical holding member holding the speed reduction mechanism in the cylinder portion, and a bearing supporting the nut member for allowing the nut member to rotate relative to the cylindrical holding member. The bearing and the cylindrical holding member are sandwiched between the stopper portion and the connection cover and the cylindrical holding member is retained so as not to rotate relative to the cylinder portion.
