ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering column which has an adjustable reach coupling in the form of a torsion bushing. The steering column has a first and second part which are slidably mounted one within the other and interconnected by the torsion bushing so as to absorb rotational backlash between the two parts of the steering column while transmitting torque through the two parts. The torsion bushing has first, second, and third zones continuous with one another and arranged so that the first and second zones are connected by the third zone and wherein the first and second zones are twisted relative to each other.
