ABSTRACT:
In a steering device10, the upper side portion of a rubber boot120is fixedly fitted on a case outer cylindrical component41of a cable case39, and the lower side portion of the rubber boot120is fixed to a dashboard100of a vehicle body14over the entire circumference thereof. Thus, the case outer cylindrical component41can be secured against rotation more firmly compared with a prior art steering device wherein such a case outer cylindrical component is fixed at two portions thereon by means of a wire of a V-letter shape. Further, the problem attendant on the wire of the V-letter shape in the prior art steering device no longer arises even in the car models wherein the case outer cylindrical component41and the dashboard100are relatively far from each other. That is, it can be realized to secure the case outer cylindrical component41of the cable case39against rotation relative to the vehicle body14even in any car model.
