ABSTRACT:
A method for making a steering column locking assembly includes swaging a steering column tube and a steering column lock collar in such a manner that relative rotation between the two parts is resisted below a predetermined torque while relative rotation occurs at values of value above the predetermined value. A layer of plastics material may be provided between the two parts. Once the predetermined torque is overcome, then rotation between the two parts occurs, but ceases once the torque level drops below the predetermined level.
