Abstract
A cushioning material sheet to be interposed between a rack support and a press plug for applying an elastic force provided by a spring is formed such that at least its one end face is tapered. Slide-contact surfaces of the rack support and the press plug to be brought into contact with the two end faces of the cushioning material sheet are so formed as to move the cushioning material sheet in a direction perpendicular to a rack support direction, along which the thickness of the cushioning material sheet is decreased. A biasing member is provided to bias the cushioning material sheet in this direction of movement, thereby obtaining a proper meshed condition between a pinion and a rack.
