A steering system comprising: a steered shaft that is able to reciprocate in an axial direction of the steered shaft; a housing that accommodates the steered shaft; a joint that is fitted to a shaft end portion of the steered shaft so as to connect the steered shaft to a steered wheel such that the steered wheel is allowed to be steered; and an impact absorbing member that is provided between a restriction face formed within the housing, and an end face of the joint, and that is arranged inside the housing so as to be in contact with the restriction face, and that absorbs an impact generated when the restriction face and the end face come into contact with each other, the steered shaft being allowed to be passed through the impact absorbing member, wherein the impact absorbing member includes: an elastic portion having elasticity, and a circular tube-shaped restriction portion, made of a metal, arranged radially inward or radially outward of the elastic portion, having an elastic modulus higher than that of the elastic portion and having a length in the axial direction which is shorter than that of the elastic portion, wherein a compression allowance, which is a difference in length in the axial direction between the elastic portion and the restriction portion, is brought to zero when the restriction face and the end face come into contact with each other via the impact absorbing member due to a steering input, characterized in that the impact absorbing member includes an annular plate-shaped pressing portion, made of a metal, with an elastic modulus higher than that of the elastic portion and having a pressing surface at one end of the pressing portion in the axial direction; the pressing portion is in contact with joint-side end faces of the elastic portion and the restriction portion; and the pressing surface comes into contact with the end face of the joint when contact of the joint with the housing occurs. a steered shaft that is able to reciprocate in an axial direction of the steered shaft; a housing that accommodates the steered shaft; a joint that is fitted to a shaft end portion of the steered shaft so as to connect the steered shaft to a steered wheel such that the steered wheel is allowed to be steered; and an impact absorbing member that is provided between a restriction face formed within the housing, and an end face of the joint, and that is arranged inside the housing so as to be in contact with the restriction face, and that absorbs an impact generated when the restriction face and the end face come into contact with each other, the steered shaft being allowed to be passed through the impact absorbing member, wherein the impact absorbing member includes: an elastic portion having elasticity, and a circular tube-shaped restriction portion, made of a metal, arranged radially inward or radially outward of the elastic portion, having an elastic modulus higher than that of the elastic portion and having a length in the axial direction which is shorter than that of the elastic portion, an elastic portion having elasticity, and a circular tube-shaped restriction portion, made of a metal, arranged radially inward or radially outward of the elastic portion, having an elastic modulus higher than that of the elastic portion and having a length in the axial direction which is shorter than that of the elastic portion, wherein a compression allowance, which is a difference in length in the axial direction between the elastic portion and the restriction portion, is brought to zero when the restriction face and the end face come into contact with each other via the impact absorbing member due to a steering input, characterized in that the impact absorbing member includes an annular plate-shaped pressing portion, made of a metal, with an elastic modulus higher than that of the elastic portion and having a pressing surface at one end of the pressing portion in the axial direction; the pressing portion is in contact with joint-side end faces of the elastic portion and the restriction portion; and the pressing surface comes into contact with the end face of the joint when contact of the joint with the housing occurs.
