ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering device includes a cable, a pulley, and a securing portion. The cable transmits movement of an operating unit operated by a driver to a turning unit that turns a steering control wheel. The pulley winds up the cable. The securing portion secures an end of the cable to the pulley. A restricting member is provided at the pulley. The cable is wound up along a winding groove, which is formed in an outer peripheral surface of the pulley. As the pulley is rotated, the cable is brought into contact with the winding groove by the restricting member. The restricting member is disposed at a location that is separated from the securing portion along the winding groove by a predetermined length.
