A linear guide way structure comprises a guide rail, a slider, and two end cups. The slider has two ends each defining a ball return hole having a first-end-opening, and a ball groove having a second-end-opening. The adjustable end cup is provided with two ball direction changing paths each having a first-mating-end-opening abutting the first-end-opening of the ball return hole, and a second-mating-end-opening abutting the second-end-opening of the ball groove. The adjustable end cup is provided with a plurality of adjusting slits, and at least one of the adjusting slits has a determined depth so that the adjustable end cup is made flexible, thereby adjusting the distance between the two first-mating-end-openings of each of the two ball direction changing paths of the adjustable end cup, so that the first-mating-end-opening can be exactly engaged with the first-end-opening of the ball return hole.
