Abstract
In a steering device, the upper side portion of a rubber bootis fixedly fitted on a case outer cylindrical componentof a cable case, and the lower side portion of the rubber bootis fixed to a dashboardof a vehicle bodyover the entire circumference thereof. Thus, the case outer cylindrical componentcan be secured against rotation more firmly compared with a prior art steering device wherein such a case outer cylindrical component is fixed at two portions thereon by means of a wire of a V-letter shape. Further, the problem attendant on the wire of the V-letter shape in the prior art steering device no longer arises even in the car models wherein the case outer cylindrical componentand the dashboardare relatively far from each other. That is, it can be realized to secure the case outer cylindrical componentof the cable caseagainst rotation relative to the vehicle bodyeven in any car model.
