A ball screw in a steering system has a groove between the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical ball nut through which a steered shaft extends and the outer peripheral surface of the steered shaft, and balls are accommodated in the groove. The balls rolling and flowing in the groove are returned from downstream to upstream via deflectors and a return passage member disposed in the ball nut. The return passage member has a first connection portion curved to connect one end of a linear portion of the return passage member to the first deflector, and a second connection portion curved to connect the other end of the linear portion to the second deflector. Each connection portion has an opening that opens in the return passage member longitudinal end face and an opening that opens in the return passage member outer periphery of toward the centerline of the ball nut.
