Abstract: A steering column assembly includes a jacket assembly and an energy absorption strap assembly. The energy absorption strap assembly has a first energy absorption strap and a second energy absorption strap. The first energy absorption strap has a first strap body that extends between a first strap first end and a first strap second end. The first strap body defines a first opening and a second opening. The second energy absorption strap has a second strap body that extends between a second strap first end and a second strap second end. The second strap first end is at least partially received within the first opening and the second strap second end is at least partially received within the second opening.

Abstract: A locking cam for an axially adjustable steering column, the locking cam including: a hub; a leg extending from the hub in a first direction, the leg defining a set of teeth; and an arm extending from the hub to define a space between the arm and the leg. The arm includes an interface surface facing the leg, the interface surface interfacing with a mechanism of the adjustable steering column to pivot the locking cam. Each of the hub, the arm, and the leg are formed of a single, monolithic one-piece structure.
