To provide an intermediate shaft configured to reduce a surface pressure of a torque transmission surface by increasing a contact radius of the torque transmission surface, and also damp vibration on the side of a wheel transmitted to a steering wheel.
Even if an outer diameter size d1 of a male spline 52 is formed to be large, the male spline 52 can be slid to an inner side in the radial direction of each of the arms 43, 43. Therefore, a surface pressure of a torque transmission surface (engagement part) between the male spline 52 and a female spline 42 is reduced. Even if the outer diameter size d1 of the male spline 52 is formed to be large, an outer diameter size d2 of each of round projecting surfaces 434, 434 on an outer side in the radial direction of each of the arms 43, 43 is suppressed. Therefore, a radius of gyration of a universal joint is reduced.
