Abstract
The disclosure provides a steering dust seal which seals a gap between a shaft hole of a column hole provided in a dashboard and a steering shaft. The steering dust seal includes an annular mounting portion attached to an inner peripheral surface of the shaft hole, an annular bumper facing the steering shaft in a non-contact state, a bellows connecting the mounting portion and the bumper, and a seal lip extending from the bumper to contact with the steering shaft. A lip included in the seal lip is covered over its entire circumference with a resin-made sliding portion having a friction coefficient preventing abnormal noise from occurring due to a stick-slip phenomenon between the rotating steering shaft and the sliding portion.
