The female component member is a generally cylindrical component having a plurality of radially directed bearing access ports therethrough for a screw-type adjusting member, a ball bearing, and an intermediate biasing means. The inside surface of the female member incudes a concentric groove with an access channel to the outside surface for containing one side portion of a locking wire inserted through the access channel. The male member includes on the outside surface with a matching concentric groove for receiving the opposite side portion of the locking wire and includes a plurality of spaced apart ball bearing depressions. The female component member receives the male component member and is locked thereto by the locking wire.
