A rack bar (1, 21, 31) includes a shaft member (S1) having a toothed section (2, 12, 22). The toothed section (2, 12, 22) has a plurality of rack teeth (3, 13, 23), and extends over a portion of an entire length of the shaft member (S1) along a longitudinal direction of the shaft member (S1). The shaft member (S1) has a grinding-finished outer peripheral surface extending over the entire length of the shaft member (S1) including the toothed section (2, 12, 22). A method for manufacturing the rack bar (1, 21, 31) includes forming the toothed section (2, 12, 22) by plastic working and grinding the outer peripheral surface to improve shape accuracy. |
