Steering column assembly for a vehicle

A steering column assembly for a vehicle has a housing 24 and an elongate rotatable steering column which is displaceable into and out of the housing along its longitudinal axis A and to which a steering wheel is attachable at one end 14. Steering column 12 may be in a steering column housing 22 which may slide within housing 24. A gear 36 is provided within housing 24 and is rotatably mounted coaxially with steering column 12, and a torque feedback motor 44 is connected to the gear. A keyed connection 20 between steering column 12 and gear 36, which may comprise external splines in the steering column and internal splines on the gear, allows steering column 12 to move longitudinally relative to gear 36. A turn limiter may be provided on steering column 12, such as a non-rotatable nut 30 on a threaded portion 18 of the steering column.
