ABSTRACT:
A steering column for a vehicle comprises two rotatable stub shafts coupled to a steering wheel for the vehicle and a steering gear for the vehicle, respectively. A rotatable steering shaft extends between the two stub shafts and couplings connect opposite ends of the steering shaft to different ones of the two stub shafts. At least one of the couplings is relatively torsion-stiff and couples the steering shaft to one of the stub shafts so as to define an angle between the shafts. The coupling includes at least two portions that are fabricated of metal plate. The two portions of the coupling are coupled together and are oriented transversely of each other. One of the portions of the coupling is rigidly connected to an end of the steering shaft and the other is rigidly connected to an end of the one stub shaft.
