ABSTRACT:
In a steering column assembly with a tilt holding force adjustment mechanism, a distance bracket member supporting a steering column is disposed between side walls of an upper clamp member fixed to a vehicle body. A tilt bolt passes through elongate apertures formed in the side walls of the upper clamp member, and bolt holes formed in the distance bracket member. A tilt lever is screwed on a first end of the tilt bolt. A tilt bolt stopper is mounted on a second end of the tilt bolt. The tilt bolt stopper has a washer portion loosely fitting over the second end of the tilt bolt, and an engaging portion engaging with the distance bracket or one of the elongate apertures. The tilt bolt stopper is clamped between a flange of the tilt bolt and a stopper fixing nut screwed on a threaded portion formed at the second end of the tilt bolt.
