A position adjusting apparatus of a steering wheel, the position adjusting apparatus comprising: a cylindrical steering column which rotatably supports therein a steering shaft, a rear end portion of which a steering wheel is supported and fixed to; a displacement bracket which is fixed to a portion of the steering column; a support bracket which is supported on a vehicle body and includes left and right support plate portions (23, 23) which interpose the displacement bracket from both sides in a width direction; an adjusting rod which is inserted in the width direction through vehicle body side through holes (24, 24) formed in the support plate portions (23, 23) and a column side through hole formed in the displacement bracket; and a cam device which includes a drive cam externally engaged with and supported on an axial one end portion of the adjusting rod such that an axial displacement is prevented, and a driven cam engaged into the vehicle body side through hole formed in one of the two support plate portions (23, 23) and externally engaged with and supported on a portion of the adjusting rod close to an axial end thereof such that an axial displacement is permitted, wherein the drive cam is rotatable based on an operation of an adjusting lever (18a, 18b) connected to the drive cam, and the cam device is configured to extend and contract an axial dimension of the cam device according to a rotation of the drive cam with respect to the driven cam, thereby extending and contracting a distance between the two support plate portions (23, 23), wherein at least one of the vehicle body side through holes (24, 24) and the column side through hole is an adjusting long hole which is long in a direction in which a position of the steering wheel can be adjusted, wherein a base end portion of the adjusting lever (18a, 18b) includes a lever side through hole penetrating through the base end portion in the width direction, and wherein the adjusting rod is press-fitted into the lever side through hole, characterized in that the adjusting lever (18a, 18b) includes a lever side engagement recess or a lever side engagement hole, which forms a lever side engagement portion (34a; 38), provided in an inside surface of the base end portion in the width direction, the drive cam includes a cam side engagement projecting portion, which is provided in an outside surface of the drive cam in the width direction and which projects from the drive cam in the width direction, the cam side engagement projecting portion is press-fitted into the lever side engagement recess or the lever side engagement hole, and the lever side engagement portion (34a; 38) and the lever side through hole are formed in the base end portion of the adjusting lever (18a, 18b) to be provided at different axial positions with respect to the axial direction of the adjusting rod. a cylindrical steering column which rotatably supports therein a steering shaft, a rear end portion of which a steering wheel is supported and fixed to;
