retaining therein one end of a steering shaft of the steering apparatus,
while retaining therein an actuator for exerting reactive force in order
to impart reactive force in response to turning of an operating member
fastened to an other end of the steering shaft that projects from the
housing and rotatable together with the steering shaft; and a plurality
of mounting portions disposed about a turning axis of the operating
member so as to extend diametrically outwardly, the mounting portions
fastened at respective fastener portions thereof to a vehicle body side
at multiple locations, at least one of the fastener portions of the
mounting portions is fastened to the body side via a rubber elastic body
so that the housing is elastically supported on the body side.
