A sub-arm which is rotated together with an adjustment lever is fixed to a base end portion of the adjustment lever. A receiving side member is fixed to an outer surface of one support plate part of a support bracket and a buffer member made of an elastic material is fixed to the receiving side member. When the adjustment lever is rotated in a predetermined direction, a tip portion of the sub-arm first contacts the buffer member before step portions of driving and driven cam surfaces contact each other. Therefore, when the adjustment lever is rotated in the predetermined direction (a direction in which an axial dimension of a cam mechanism is contracted) so as to adjust a position of a steering wheel, it is possible to prevent generation of a harsh abnormal noise caused as the step portions of the driving and driven cam surfaces contact each other.
