ABSTRACT:
A system of locking a pinch bolt assembly through a yoke arm of a vehicle steering assembly. The yoke arm of a steering assembly has an outward end, a forward face and a rearward face. A bolt receiving aperture through the yoke arm connects the forward face and the rearward face. A pinch bolt is fitted through the bolt receiving aperture to control the radius of an aperture for receiving an adjustment bushing. The head of the pinch bolt impinges against a selected one of the rearward and forward faces and a nut fitted to the bolt is tightened against the unselected face resulting in the head and nut pressing against their respective faces. A C-shaped channel section is fitted around the forward face, the rearward face and the outward end of the yoke arm. The channel section includes coaxial apertures fitted around the head of the bolt and the nut, respectively, for preventing the rotation of the nut and the bolt and thus preventing the nut and bolt from loosening.
