<p>To improve impact absorption ability of a steering apparatus. A steering wheel (1) is coupled to a steering gear (27) via a steering shaft (3), an intermediate shaft (9), a clutch input shaft (13), and a clutch output shaft (17). When viewed in a vehicle transverse direction, a tilt angle ± of the clutch input shaft (13) relative to the horizontal plane is set to be smaller than a tilt angle P of the intermediate shaft (9) relative to the horizontal plane. A steering column (5) is supported by a vehicle body via a tilt pivot (41) for adjusting a tilt position. Even when the steering column (5) is located at any tilt position, the relationship of ±<² is set to be maintained when viewed in the vehicle transverse direction. The center position of a universal joint (7) between the steering shaft (3) and the intermediate shaft (9) is misaligned with the center position of the tilt pivot (41) when viewed in the vehicle transverse direction.</p> |
