A rack supporting device for vehicle steering systems includes: a steering housing having a steering gear installed therein; a rack bar longitudinally inserted into the steering housing to engage with the steering gear; a tapered passage defined in an inner circumference of the steering housing, wherein the tapered passage is eccentric with an axial center of the steering housing; a rack bushing inserted between an inner circumference of the tapered passage and an outer circumference of the rack bar so that the rack bushing moves along the tapered passage and pushes the rack bar to the steering gear; and an elastic member mounted to one side of the tapered passage to provide an elastic pressing force for pushing the rack bar to the rack bushing.
