Abstract
A steering system includes a motor that rotates a power transmitting member, a rotating body to which rotative power of the motor is transmitted via the power transmitting member, a rack shaft that is driven in its axial direction according to rotation of the rotating body, a rack housing that houses the rack shaft and the rotating body, and a bearing interposed between the rack housing and the rotating body. A receiving portion of the rotating body which engages with the power transmitting member is provided at an opposed surface as a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the rotating body which is opposed to an output shaft of the motor, and the bearing is provided on a non-opposed surface other than the opposed surface.
