PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize the excellent assemblability of tie rods in a center take-off type vehicular steering device. SOLUTION: A steering device has a connector 40 for rocking tie rods 31, 32 for steering right and left steered wheels in the right-to-left direction according to the displacement of a rack bar 21 in the right-to-left direction. The connector 40 comprises a bracket 41 assembled and fixed to the center position in the axial direction of the rack bar 21, and ball joint mechanisms (connection assemblies) 50A, 50B. The ball joint mechanisms 50A, 50B comprise supporting members 51, 52 assembled and fixed to the bracket 41, and connection rods 53, 54 assembled to the supporting members 51, 52 so that inner ends thereof are turnably supported. The tie rods 31, 32 are coupled with outer ends of the connection rods 53, 54 at theirinner ends. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
