In a vehicle steering apparatus, a rotating cylinder supported by a rack housing
is threadingly engaged via rolling elements with a screw shaft integrated with
a rack which meshes with a pinion which rotates by steering operation. The rotating
cylinder is driven by a motor. All of the rolling elements are arranged between
a rack support member which supports the rack in the position where the rack is
meshed with the pinion, and a support body that is arranged in the movement range
of the screw shaft and is capable of supporting the outer circumference of the
screw shaft. Loads acting on the rack from the road surface are received by the
support body and the rack support member.
