Abstract: An axially adjustable steering column assembly includes an upper jacket. The steering column assembly also includes a lower jacket, wherein the upper jacket is received within the lower jacket and is telescopingly adjustable therein, the lower jacket defining a pair of slots extending in an axial direction of the lower jacket. The steering column assembly further includes a column mounting bracket, wherein the lower jacket translates and rotates relative to the column mounting bracket. The steering column assembly yet further includes a pair of bushings positioned within the pair of slots. The steering column assembly also includes a geared rack operatively coupled to one of the pair of bushings, the geared rack correspondingly rotatable with the lower jacket. The steering column assembly further includes a sensor in operative contact with the geared rack to detect the axial position of the axially adjustable steering column assembly.

Abstract: A steering column assembly comprises an outer jacket extending along an axis and defining a central opening for placing a steering shaft and a bearing assembly. A bearing retainer is located in the outer jacket for axially retaining the bearing assembly in the outer jacket. The bearing retainer comprises a first surface spaced from a second surface by an outer edge and an inner edge. The inner edge defines an opening for placement of the steering shaft. The bearing retainer includes a first spring finger extending from the first surface away from the second surface at an angle and a second spring finger extending from the second surface away from the first surface at an angle.

Abstract: A steering column assembly includes an upper jacket. Also included is a lower jacket, the upper jacket translatable relative to the lower jacket. Further included is an energy absorption strap operatively coupled to the upper jacket and the lower jacket, the strap translatable with the upper jacket. Yet further included is an engagement mechanism operatively coupled to the lower jacket, the engagement mechanism moveable between an engaged condition with the energy absorption strap and a disengaged condition with the energy absorption strap, the engaged condition increasing the energy absorption load of the steering column assembly during collapse of the upper jacket into the lower jacket, the engagement mechanism remaining in a stationary position relative to the lower jacket during translation of the energy absorption strap.

Abstract: A steering column assembly includes a locking assembly. The locking assembly is operatively connected to a jacket assembly. The locking assembly includes a housing, a first member, a second member, and a third member. The housing has a base and a wall that extends from the base. The wall and the base define a cavity. The first member is disposed within the cavity. The first member defines a first member ramp. The second member is disposed within the cavity and is spaced apart from the first member. The second member defines a second member ramp. The third member has a body that is disposed between the first member and the second member and an actuation arm that extends from the body.
