A steering apparatus includes an attaching bracket connecting end portions of a pair of tie rods to a rack shaft. The attaching bracket includes a base which is fixed to the rack shaft and includes at least one fixing member inserting hole through which a fixing member fixing the attaching bracket to the rack shaft is provided, and a supporting stay supporting the end portions of the pair of tie rods via ball joints respectively. The supporting stay extends from an intermediate portion of the base in an axial direction of the rack shaft. A center of the ball joint supporting the end portion of each of the tie rods is positioned offset from an axial line of the fixing member by a predetermined distance when viewed along the axial direction of the rack shaft.

A center-takeoff rack-and-pinion steering apparatus includes a connecting unit arranged to connect respective ends of a pair of tie rods for steering a pair of vehicle wheels to an axially intermediate portion of a rack shaft. The connecting unit includes a slider slidably movable on an inner periphery of an elongate hole of a rack housing. A sliding contact surface on the inner periphery of the elongate hole and a sliding contact surface of the slider, which slide on each other, are inclined in both a widthwise direction of the elongate hole which is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the elongate hole and a depthwise direction of the elongate hole.

A center take-off rack-and-pinion steering apparatus includes a cylindrical rack housing having an elongate hole extending in a longitudinal direction, a mounting bracket for mounting ends of a pair of tie rods on a rack shaft, and a slider interposed between the mounting bracket and the rack shaft and slidable in an inner periphery of the elongate hole. The inner periphery of the elongate hole and the slider include sliding contact sections that are brought into sliding contact with each other along with the slide of the slider slides. The sliding contact sections include at least a pair of curved sliding contact surfaces that are brought into sliding contact with each other in a curved shape when seen in an axial direction of the rack shaft.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a rack guide base body wherein a cavity (40) is formed which has a pair of semicylindrical convex surfaces (44a and 44b) and a pair of flat surfaces (45) each located between the semicylindrical convex surfaces (44a and 44b), and has a recessed surface (41) located on one axial end portion side inwardly of the semicylindrical convex surfaces (44a and 44b) and the flat surfaces (45) and a cylindrical surface (42) located on the other axial end portion side inwardly of the semicylindrical convex surfaces (44a and 44b) and the flat surfaces (45); a hollow portion (9c) is formed for allowing the cavity (40) to communicate with a hollow portion (10c) at one flat surface (45) and with a hollow portion (8c) at the other flat surface (45); a rack guide base body (50) is die cast by forcing molten metal of aluminum from the hollow portion (10c) into the cavity (40); and runners (56) integrally joined to flat surfaces (55) of the rack guide base body (50) formed by the respective flat surfaces (45) are cut off.
