ABSTRACT:
A tilt setting device for a steering column includes a rod and a sleeve, with the rod being telescopically disposed in a hollow center of the sleeve. The rod is pivotably coupled to one of the steering column's main column and tilt head. The sleeve includes a lateral extending elongated hole through which a pin, fixed to the other of the main column and the tilt head, extends so that the sleeve is able to pivot about the pin relative to the other of tie main column and the tilt head. The elongated hole also allows the sleeve to rotate about its axis relative to the rod. The elongated hole includes a narrower end, a wider end, and sides extending between the narrower and wider ends. At least one of the sides includes a lateral, untapered region adjacent the narrower end.
