Title:
STEERING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/118054
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A recess (45) is formed below a material hole (40) of an outer column (4) in the die casting process and an abutting face (41) is machined in the material hole (40) in the process of (3B). Then, a slit L is machined. Even if the outer column (4) is deformed to project its inner circumferential surface inward at the boundary of the slit L and the inner circumferential surface, it has no adverse effect on the circularity of the abutting face (41) because the recess (45) is present. This reduces operating force when adjusting the telescopic position, enhances the clamping force at the time of clamping, and provides a steering system exhibiting enhanced steering feeling.
