ABSTRACT:
A Belleville spring is interposed between adjacent end faces of a retainer and an adjuster for preventing a rattling sound of a steering gear. At least one of the end faces is conical in such a way as to taper in the same direction as the Belleville spring. The taper angle of the conical end face is smaller than that of the Belleville spring in a state free from any load. In one embodiment, a wave spring is used in place of the Belleville spring. In this case, at least one of the end faces is formed into a wave shape having a wave height smaller than that of the wave spring in a state free from any load.
