ABSTRACT:
A vehicular steering column of a low tilt type is supported to a body at upper and lower portions thereof to be tilted in whole about a hinge joint located on the lower portion, and more particularly to a shock absorbing steering column is designed to allow a steering column to slide forward when a vehicle driver gets a secondary shock against a steering wheel due to a vehicular collision, thereby absorbing a shock. In particular, the steering column is constructed in such a manner that, in order to absorb a shock in case of the vehicular collision, shock absorbing means is provided to a lower supporting structure of the steering column, and thus an initial shock imposed on the driver can be greatly decreased.
