ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an improvement in a rack-and-pinion type steering gear, wherein a rack bar abutting portion is so formed as to project from the inner surface of the insert hole at the circumference of the upper opening of the rack guide hole, and the rack guide is made of a low-rigid material such as synthetic resin. There is defined a clearance between the rack guide abutting portion and the back of the rack bar, which clearance is larger than the clearance between the rack guide and the set bolt, but smaller than the elastic deformation limit of the rack guide.
