    Abstract: A steering column assembly includes a jacket having a first end, a second end, a jacket length, and an inner surface defining a bore. The steering column assembly also includes a steering shaft having an outer surface and a shaft length, at least a portion of the steering shaft located within the bore defined by the inner surface of the jacket. The steering column assembly further includes a stiffening sleeve having a radially inner surface, a radially outer surface, and a sleeve length, wherein the radially outer surface of the stiffening sleeve is fixed to the inner surface of the jacket.

    Abstract: A steering column assembly includes an upper jacket assembly received within a lower jacket assembly and an energy absorption strap. The energy absorption strap has a first portion that defines a first slot that receives a first fastener to couple the first portion to a telescope drive bracket disposed on the upper jacket assembly. A second portion defines a second opening that receives a second fastener to couple the second portion to the upper jacket assembly.

    Abstract: A steering column bearing assembly is disposed between an upper column jacket and a steering control shaft, supporting the steering control shaft for rotation within the upper column jacket. The steering column bearing assembly comprises an inner race, an outer race, and a plurality of ball bearings disposed between the inner race and the outer race, each ball bearing having a ball bearing diameter. The inner race and the outer race define an annular cavity in which the plurality of ball bearings is disposed. The annular cavity has an interior column opening defined between an outer edge surface of the inner race and an inner edge surface of the outer race. The outer edge diameter is less than a sum of the inner edge diameter and the ball bearing diameter.

    Abstract: A telescope drive assembly for a steering column assembly includes a column jacket moveable in a rake direction and defining a tapered slot. The telescope drive assembly also includes a telescope actuator assembly operatively coupled to the column jacket to move the column jacket in a telescope direction. The telescope drive assembly further includes a telescope drive bracket operatively coupled to the telescope actuator assembly and to the column jacket, the telescope drive bracket and the column jacket rotatable about a common axis in the rake direction. The telescope drive assembly yet further includes a telescope guide disposed between the telescope drive bracket and the column jacket, the telescope guide disposed at least partially within the tapered slot and translatable within the tapered slot in the telescope direction.

    Abstract: A method of assembling a steering column assembly includes pressing a first pivot bushing into a first rake bracket first opening of a first rake bracket and inserting a first pivot fastener into the first pivot bushing and into a first mounting bracket opening of a first mounting bracket arm of a mounting bracket. The method further includes displacing material of the first mounting bracket arm with first splines of the first pivot fastener to form first mating splines within the first mounting bracket opening.
