ABSTRACT:
A rack-and-pinion steering apparatus of center-takeoff type is disclosed in which track rods are connected to an intermediate portion of a rack shaft. A stop member is secured to the rack shaft for limiting the axial movement of the rack shaft by abutment against a housing. A resilient member is mounted on a part of these contacting surfaces so that the resilient member initially contacts either component to absorb impact before a contact occurs between metals, thus assuring the stroke limiting function while reducing the generation of percussion sounds.
