PURPOSE:To provide a steering device for a vehicle, which can effectively absorb component force in the horizontal direction at a secondary collision generated in a steering column when a driving occupant comes into collision with a steering wheel. CONSTITUTION:This steering device for a vehicle is constituted so that a upper bracket 4 connected to a steering column 5 is supported with a vehicle body 1 movably in the horizontal direction, the lower end part of a lower shaft 20 is connected to the upper end part of a shaft 21 through a universal joint 50, a bearing bracket 6 journaling the shaft 21 rotatable centering around the shaft is rotationally movably supported with a vehicle body 10, and an intermediate shaft 8 having a flexible contractible body 8a is connected to the lower end part of the shaft 21 through a universal joint 51. When a column jacket 22 is moved in a body in the horizontal direction at secondary collision, the bearing bracket 6 is rotationally moved centering around a shaft 7a, and in addition the lower shaft 20 is moved in a spline tube 19, so as to allow movement of the column jacket 22 in the horizontal direction. |
