ABSTRACT:
A steering system is provided for motor vehicles with a multiple-part steering column, in which a rigid steering column part in the vicinity of the steering wheel is guided in an outer tube and in which a plastically deformable second steering column part, for example in the form of a corrugated tube, is located between this first steering column part and the steering gear, and in which the outer tube is fastened to a cross support passing between the windshield pillars of the vehicle. In order to obtain a flatter attitude of the outer tube and thereby a lowering of the steering wheel in the case of a frontal collision, provision is made according to the invention for the outer tube to be additionally supported by means of at least one strut, or similar device, passing in the interior of the vehicle in front of the front bulkhead, on a cross support passing below the windshield.
