Construction of an electric power-steering apparatus is achieved that, by stably suppressing backlash of an output shaft 6a of an electric motor 5 over a long period of time, is able to stably reduce vibration and strange noise that occurs during operation. The front end section of the output shaft 6a and the base end section of a worm 7 are connected such that torque can be transmitted and such that relative displacement in the axial direction is possible. An elastic member 31 having an elastic force in a direction that separates the output shaft 6a and worm 7 is provided in the connecting section between the output shaft 6a and the worm 7. Due to the elastic force of the elastic member 31, together with the tandem arrangement contact angles, the preload is applied to a pair of ball bearings 14a, 14b that support the output shaft 6a with respect to the motor case 13 such that the output shaft 6a can rotate freely.
