<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a configuration enabling an inner column to be stably held on the inner diameter side of an outer column. <P>SOLUTION: The outer column 13d is formed by bulging radially outward a hollow pipe by hydroforming. Moreover, a displacement-side bracket 22d is formed integrally with the outer column 13d by the hydroforming. Each protrusion 23a forming support sections 26 of the outer column 13d is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner column 14c only at three places in a circumferential direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
