To make input/output characteristics appropriate when rotating an output shaft in association with the steering action of a rear wheel by the rotation of an input shaft in association with the steering action of a front wheel.
In a wheel steering device, an input shaft side lever 54 turns according to the rotation of the input shaft 30 in association with the steering action of the front wheel. A first output shaft side lever 60 and a second output shaft side lever 64 rotate the output shaft 32 in association with the steering action of the rear wheel since they are turned by being respectively engaged with the input shaft side lever 54. The first output shaft side lever 60 is engaged with the input shaft side lever 54 when the front wheel is steered to the right. The second output shaft side lever 64 is engaged with the input shaft side lever 54 when the front wheel is steered to the left. The input shaft side lever 54 switches the output shaft side lever to be engaged with of the first output shaft side lever 60 and the second output shaft side lever 64 corresponding to the steering direction of the front wheel.
