PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steering device having a rolling rack guide reduced in steering force and improved in minute steering responsiveness at straight traveling.SOLUTION: A roller 41 is rotatably and pivotally supported on a columnar axis body 43 by a radial needle roller bearing (roller bearing supporting radial load) 44. The axis body 43 is contained in the support hole 451 with a circular cross section of a cylindrical holder 45. Thrust needle roller bearings 48, 48 are inserted between both side faces of the roller 41 and the holder 45, respectively, to support the thrust load applied to the roller 41.
