    Abstract: A steering column jacket assembly for a steering system of motor vehicle includes a first steering jacket extending along a longitudinal axis and a second steering jacket arranged for telescoping movement relative to the first steering jacket along the longitudinal axis. A guide bracket is fixed to the second steering jacket. The guide bracket has a guide bushing disposed between the guide bracket and the first steering jacket, the guide bushing self-centering the first steering jacket and the second steering jacket relative to one another to inhibit relative rotation between the first steering jacket and the second steering jacket.

    Abstract: An axially adjustable steering column assembly includes an upper jacket and a lower jacket, wherein the lower jacket defines a pair of tapered rail slots, each of the tapered rail slots disposed on opposite sides of the lower jacket. The steering column assembly further includes a column mounting bracket, wherein the lower jacket is operatively coupled to the column mounting bracket and translates relative to the column mounting bracket. The steering column assembly yet further includes a first pair of sliding wedge bushings, each disposed within a respective one of the pair of tapered rail slots. The steering column assembly also includes a first bolt, extending through the first pair of sliding wedge bushings and operatively coupling the first pair of sliding wedge bushings to the lower jacket.

    Abstract: A self-de-lashing power-rake mechanism of an adjustable steering column assembly of a vehicle is provided. The power-rake mechanism includes a jacket, rake bracket coupled to the jacket, and rake bolt extending through the jacket and bracket. At least one pivot bushing is disposed between the jacket and bracket and configured to receive and radially constrict around the bolt. A fastener is configured to be positioned onto the bolt, tightened, and seated on the bracket. The bolt is forced through the fastener, bracket, bushing, and jacket. The bolt is seated on the bracket as the fastener is tightened and draws the bolt, fastener, bracket, bushing, and jacket together as the fastener is being seated on the bracket, thereby de-lashing respective interfaces defined between and among the bolt, fastener, bracket, bushing, and jacket. A steering column assembly including the mechanism is also provided.

    Abstract: An axially adjustable steering column assembly includes an upper jacket. The assembly also includes a lower jacket, wherein the upper jacket is received within the lower jacket and is telecopingly adjustable therein, the lower jacket having a position sensor operatively coupled thereto. The assembly further includes a column mounting bracket, wherein the lower jacket translates and rotates relative to the column mounting bracket. The assembly yet further includes a geared rack operatively coupled to the column mounting bracket, the geared rack correspondingly rotatable with the lower jacket, wherein the geared rack is in contact with a gear wheel of the position sensor to detect the axial position of the axially adjustable steering column assembly.
