To provide a new housing structure of a steering device which can inhibit rainwater and salt water etc. from entering into a housing which protects sensors.SOLUTION: A first seal holding part 50B is formed at a first sensor housing 50, and a second seal holding part 51B is formed at a second sensor housing 51. In a state where the first sensor housing 50 and the second sensor housing 51 are assembled, a seal ring 55 is held between the first seal holding part 50B and the second seal holding part 51B. Recessed space parts 56A to 56D which store moisture are formed at the radial outer side of a steering shaft 4 of the second seal holding part 51B when viewed with respect to a rotation axis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】センサ類を保護するハウジングの内部に、雨水や塩水等が浸入するのを抑制することができる新規なステアリング装置のハウジング構造を提供する。【解決手段】第１センサハウジング５０に第１シール保持部５０Ｂを形成すると共に、第２センサハウジング５１に第２シール保持部５１Ｂを形成し、第１センサハウジング５０と第２センサハウジング５１を組み合せた状態で、第１シール保持部５０Ｂと第２シール保持部５１Ｂの間にシールリング５５を保持し、第２シール保持部５１Ｂのステアリングシャフト４の、回転軸線で見て径方向外側に、水分を貯留する凹状空間部５６Ａ〜５６Ｄを形成する。【選択図】図３
