ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide a power steering apparatus in which its neutral rigidity can be raised by applying a preset force and which is superior in its assembly performance and productivity.
To attain this object, first supporting portions are formed in a pair of spring members disposed across the input shaft, and second supporting portions are formed in the input shaft so as to oppose the first supporting portions. When the input shaft and the output shaft are rotated relative to each other so that the balls or rollers are about to slip out of the first and second supporting portions, the balls or rollers roll and move while deflecting the spring members.
