Abstract
One object is to provide a steering device that facilitates disengagement of a speed reducer so that, for example, when the speed reducer fails, the speed reducer can be disengaged to enable steering of a vehicle with a manual operational force alone. This application relates to a steering device provided with a steering mechanism and a speed reducer. The steering mechanism steers tires of a vehicle under a steering force from a steering wheel. The speed reducer is connected to a motor for outputting a steering assistance force corresponding to the steering force. The speed reducer enlarges the steering assistance force and transmits the enlarged steering assistance force to the steering mechanism. The speed reducer is connected to the steering mechanism via a speed reducer arm.
