The invention concerns a device for clamping a system adjusting the position of a member () relative to a support assembly (). The adjustment system can adjust in height and/or in depth an automobile vehicle steering column body-tube considered as the member. The member is disposed inside two vertical uprights () of the support assembly. The clamping axis () is perpendicular to the two uprights. The device comprises a bracket () consisting of a base () and two tie-rods () which are connected by a closure and support member () on one () of the uprights, and an external clamping rod () mounted on the base. A locking assembly (), an intermediate member bearing on the upright () and disposed between the base () and the locking assembly (), and an axial retention assembly () for the locking assembly that is adjusted to obtain clamped and unclamped positions, are mounted on the external clamping rod ().
