PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To absorb impact load input from a wheel side and to prevent influence from being given to other parts present at a periphery. SOLUTION: A tie rod structure for a steering device includes an inner shaft 4 connected to a rack shaft 16 and an outer shaft 5 connected to a knuckle arm 17, and the inner shaft 4 and the outer shaft 5 are connected to each other while a distance between ball joints 2, 3 can be adjusted. The inner shaft 4 includes a shaft body 6; an intermediate shaft 7 connected to the outer shaft 5; and a connection part 8 for connecting the shaft body 6 and the intermediate shaft 7. The connection part 8 restricts relative movement in an axial direction of the shaft body 6 and the intermediate shaft 7 when usual load in an axial direction generated at steering is applied and allows the relative movement in the axial direction of the shaft body 6 and the intermediate shaft 7 when the impact load in an axial direction is applied.
