There is a need to provide a steering device that facilitates an operation of mounting a friction plate on a mounting bracket. A first friction plate 6 and a second friction plate 7 just need to be mounted on an outer column 11 only. It is possible to greatly facilitate an operation of assembling alternate layers of the first friction plate 6 and the second friction plate 7 at specified orientations. When the outer column 11 is displaced telescopically, a tightening rod 5 touches a long slit 72 in the second friction plate 7. Accordingly, the second friction plate 7 rocks around a columnar protrusion 71 as the rocking center. The long slit 72 is formed lengthwise in a direction of tilt positioning. The long slit 72 absorbs a difference between a rocking trajectory formed by the second friction plate 7 and a linear trajectory formed by the outer column 11. The second friction plate 7 smoothly rocks. The outer column 11 can be smoothly adjusted in the telescopic direction. |
