Abstract
A rack housing () is provided with: a cylindrical main body () for movably accommodating a rack bar (); and a stroke limiting section () annularly protruding from the cylindrical main body () toward a first end (). The inner peripheral surface () of the stroke limiting section () is located offset radially outward from a support surface (), i.e. the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical main body (). The inner peripheral surface () and the support surface () are connected to each other by a sloped section () which is sloped circular conically. The sloped section () is provided at a position overlapping the cylindrical main body () when viewed radially. The sloped section () is sloped so that the inner diameter of the cylindrical main body () of the rack housing () increases toward a first contact section ().
