Zusammenfassung:A safety steering column for passenger motor vehicles with an axially compressible steering shaft and with an energy absorbing deformation member surrounding the steering shaft, which, on the one hand, is axially supported at a point fixed relative to the body and, on the other, is axially actuatable by an abutment part connected with the axially movable part of the steering shaft; the deformation member thereby includes an undulated tubular member having different values in its axial rigidity along different axial sections that are realized at the undulated tubular member itself.
