In the present invention, fixed to a base end part of an adjustment lever (34a) is a sub-arm (49) that rotates with the adjustment lever (34a). A reception-side member (52) is fixed to the outer surface of one support plate part (23a) of a support bracket (22a), and a buffer member (54) made of an elastic material is fixed to the reception-side member (52). In a case where the adjustment lever (34a) is rotated in a specific direction, prior to the step parts of both driving side and driven side cam surfaces (32, 33) making contact with each other, the tip end part of the sub-arm (49) makes contact with the buffer member (54). Due to this configuration, in a case where the adjustment lever (34a) is caused to rotate in a specific direction (the direction in which the axial direction dimensions of a cam device (31a) are reduced) so as to adjust the position of a steering wheel, the generation of unpleasant noise that accompanies the coming into contact of the step parts present on both the driving side and driven side cam surfaces (32, 33) can be prevented.
