To provide an intermediate shaft in which joining between a sleeve and a connecting member can be stably maintained for a long period of time.SOLUTION: An intermediate shaft 100 comprises: an outer shaft 140 (sleeve) having, at an internal circumferential surface, a ball groove 142 formed along an X-axis direction (axial direction); a tube 160 (connecting member) joined to one end part of the outer shaft 140; and a caulked part 200 which is formed by caulking at least either of one end part of the outer shaft 140 and of the tube 160. The caulked part 200 is arranged in a position circumferentially different from the ball groove 142.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10 【課題】スリーブと連結部材との接合を長期的に安定して維持することができるインターミディエイトシャフトを提供する。【解決手段】インターミディエイトシャフト１００は、Ｘ軸方向（軸方向）に沿ったボール溝１４２を内周面に有する外軸１４０（スリーブ）と、外軸１４０の一端部に対して接合されたチューブ１６０（連結部材）と、外軸１４０の一端部とチューブ１６０との少なくとも一方をカシメることで形成されたカシメ部２００とを備え、カシメ部２００は、ボール溝１４２に対して周方向で異なる位置に配置されている。【選択図】図１０
