A steering system includes a motor 20, a rack shaft 12, and a nut 31 that is screw-thread on the rack shaft 12 via a plurality of balls. The steering system further includes a reduction mechanism having a driving pulley 41, a driven pulley 42, a belt 43, and an idler pulley 54 that applies tension to the belt 43. The steering system further includes a housing 16 that houses the motor 20, the rack shaft 12, the nut 31, and the reduction mechanism. Compressive rigidity in an axial direction is set to vary between a near-end area and a far-end area of the housing 16. The idler pulley 54 is provided so as to contact a portion of the belt 43 which is loosened when end contact occurs at an axial end of the housing 16 where the compressive rigidity is set to a larger value.
