The invention provides a steering column for a vehicle. The steering column includes a rake bracket having first and second side walls. The steering column also includes a first steering column member disposed between the first and second side walls for raking movement. The first steering column member includes a first aperture and a plurality of projections extending inwardly from the first aperture. The steering column also includes a second steering column member received in the first aperture for telescoping movement relative to the first steering column member. The steering column also includes a lock operable in a locked configuration to concurrently urge the first and second side walls of the rake bracket together to prevent the raking movement and urge the second steering column member and the plurality of projections together to prevent the telescoping movement.
