ABSTRACT:
A steering column assembly for a vehicle includes a steering column, a stationary bracket and a guide member which allows the steering column to displace horizontally in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A pair of universal joints with a shaft connecting them are provided forward of the steering column for allowing variation in angle between the steering column and the shaft, the angular variation being caused by the horizontal displacement of the steering column. The shaft includes an outer sleeve and an inner shaft telescopically received in the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve and the inner shaft are connected in such a fashion as to allow the inner shaft to displace along an axis of the outer sleeve in response to the horizontal displacement of the steering column.
