ABSTRACT:
An automotive steering system includes a movable bracket attached to a stationary bracket via a connecting mechanism so as to move back and forth in an axial direction of a steering shaft, a steering column attached to the movable bracket and the steering shaft rotatably attached to the steering column. The positions of the steering shaft and a steering wheel are adjustable in the axial direction. The connecting mechanism includes a pair of flat pin guide surfaces extending in the axial direction and a connecting pin adapted to be inserted between the pair of pin guide surfaces. The pair of pin guide surfaces are provided at a transverse center of the movable bracket, whereas the connecting pin is provided on the stationary bracket and extends through the flat pin guide surfaces. The connecting pin is guided by the pair of pin guide surfaces to relatively move in the axial direction.
