A rack and pinion steering device which can restrict a pinion shaft from moving in an axial direction even when a snap ring of supporting a thrust load of the pinion shaft is detached or broken, and in which when the snap ring is detached or broken, the pinion shaft is moved to an upper side in the axial direction. Then, a raised portion of the pinion on a side of a lower end face is brought into contact with an outer peripheral face of a rack. The pinion shaft does not move further in the axial direction. Therefore, the thrust load can be supported, and a predetermined performance of the rack and pinion steering device can be maintained.
