PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rack and pinion steering device that reduces the generation of collision noise caused by collision of a rack guide to an inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical part of a gear case and by collision between a rack tooth of a rack bar and a tooth of a pinion as much as possible, and that does not give a sense of discomfort to a driver, even when a load in a radial direction acts on the rack guide.SOLUTION: A rack and pinion steering device S includes: a gear case 22; a steering shaft 25 freely and rotatably supported to the gear case 22; a pinion 26 integrally arranged in a shaft end of the steering shaft 25; a rack bar 28 which has the rack tooth 27 engaging with the pinion 26; a rack guide 29 for sliding and supporting the rack bar 28; a coil spring 30 for pushing the rack guide 29 toward the rack bar 28; and a lid member 32 for blocking an opening of the cylindrical part 20 of the gear case 22. |
