A steering system includes a rack shaft (16), a rack housing (15), a rack end (22), and an impact absorbing member (40) that is provided between a restriction face (15c) formed within the rack housing (15) and an end face (33) of the rack end (22), and that absorbs an impact generated when the restriction face (15c) and the end face (33) come into contact with each other. The impact absorbing member (40) includes an elastic portion (41), and a restriction portion (42) having an elastic modulus higher than that of the elastic portion (41) and having a length in the axial direction, which is shorter than that of the elastic portion (41). A compression allowance (L1), which is a difference in length in the axial direction between the elastic portion (41) and the restriction portion (42), is brought to zero when the restriction face (15c) and the end face (33) come into contact with each other via the impact absorbing member (41) due to a steering input. |
