Abstract
A steering system enabling telescopic adjustment within a predetermined range includes a second tooth member supported by a lower jacket, a damper fixed to an upper jacket so as to face the second tooth member, and an abutting contact member fixed to the lower jacket and coming into abutting contact with the second tooth member from a side opposite from a side where the damper faces the second tooth member. The damper includes an inclined surface that is located at a portion (an end) of the damper, which faces the second tooth member and that is inclined so as to gradually be closer to the upper jacket toward the second tooth member. During telescopic adjustment, the second tooth member comes into abutting contact with the inclined surface of the damper at a sliding limit position.
