ABSTRACT:
A steering column assembly comprises an upper jacket, a lower jacket extending along a longitudinal axis, and a bushing apparatus disposed therebetween. The upper jacket and the lower jacket include a circular cross section. The bushing apparatus includes a first contact surface, a second contact surface and a third contact surface disposed radially about the longitudinal axis and equally spaced from each other. A compression device is coupled to one of the lower jacket and the upper jacket for applying a compressive force to the first contact surface. The second contact surface and the third contact surface resist the compressive force. The compression device is adjustable to vary a slip resistance between the bushing apparatus and one of the upper jacket and lower jacket.
