Claim:
1. A steering system comprising: a steering shaft with a steering member coupled to the steering shaft at one end thereof; a column jacket that holds the steering shaft and that is movable in a tilt direction extending upward and downward so as to cross an axial direction of the steering shaft; a bracket fixed to a vehicle body to support the column jacket; an operation member that is operated to enable and disable movement of the column jacket with respect to the bracket; a first tooth member provided with a first tooth row that includes a plurality of first teeth each of which has a tooth trace extending in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to both the axial direction and the tilt direction and which are aligned along the tilt direction, the first tooth row being elastically deformable in the orthogonal direction, the first tooth member being supported by the bracket such that the first tooth row is disposed away from the bracket in the orthogonal direction; and a second tooth member including a second tooth row that includes a plurality of second teeth each of which has a tooth trace extending in the orthogonal direction and which are aligned along the tilt direction, the second tooth member facing the first tooth member in the orthogonal direction, being movable in the tilt direction along with the column jacket, and also being movable in the orthogonal direction in accordance with an operation of the operation member.
