ABSTRACT:
An electric power steering apparatus includes a steering assisting electric motor having a motor housing for accommodating an annular rotor and an annular stator. The rotor and the stator are disposed coaxially with a steering shaft. The motor housing is supported by a support member mounted to a vehicle body member. A shock applied to a steering member when the motor vehicle crashes is absorbed by the relative movement between the motor housing and the support member.
