ABSTRACT:
An impact absorption type steering column apparatus for a vehicle is constructed such that a steering column is moved forwardly of the vehicle with respect to a car body sided member when a secondary collision happens. An outer peripheral surface of the steering column is fitted with a metallic ring that engages with the car body sided member to absorb impact energy while frictionally sliding on the steering column moving forwardly of the vehicle, when the secondary collision happens.
