A shaft (1) for vehicle sun visors which is predominantly plastic and includes a short shaft leg (2) as well as a long shaft leg (3). The short shaft leg (2) engages a pillow block attached to the vehicle body, and the long shaft leg (3) engages a bearing housing (13), which is supported by the sun body. The bearing housing carries a detent spring (14) which exerts a clamping force on a partial axial region of the long shaft leg (3). The long shaft leg (3) includes a plastic material with self-lubricating properties along an axial partial region which is in contact with the detent spring (14).
