The rear wheel steering system comprises a housing adapted to be mounted on the vehicle, an input shaft angularly movably supported by the housing and having a front end coupled to the connecting means and an eccentric shaft on a rear end thereof, a joint member supported by the housing so as to be movable transversely of the vehicle, a pair of tie rods connected at ends to the joint member and at opposite ends to the rear wheels, and a slide member held in slidable engagement with the joint member and operatively coupled to the eccentric shaft for movement in response to angular movement of the input shaft. The joint member and the slide member are held in tapered engagement with each other to assure desired operation of the steering apparatus for an extended period of time.
