In a coupling structure for coupling a shaft to a universal joint yoke, an insertion portion (55) of a shaft (35) is passed through an insertion hole (49) of a universal joint yoke (43). An outward protrusion (54) of a distal end portion (53) of the shaft faces a peripheral edge (51a) of a first opening (51) of the insertion hole (49) across a gap in an axial direction. A fixed portion (57) that adjoins the insertion portion is fixed to a peripheral edge (52a) of a second opening (52) of the insertion hole by welding. An engaging portion formed on an outer periphery (55a) of the insertion portion (55) and an engaged portion formed in an inner periphery (49a) of the universal joint yoke, which defines the insertion hole, are engageable with each other in a rotational direction with a rotation permitting gap for phase adjustment.
