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 steering column assembly includes a telescope drive bracket. The steering column assembly also includes a first jacket operatively coupled to the telescope drive bracket. The steering column assembly further includes a second jacket, wherein the first jacket is telescopingly moveable relative to the second jacket. The steering column yet further includes a collapse limiting feature having a cam portion and a blocking portion, wherein the blocking portion defines a first range of travel of the first jacket in a first position, wherein contact between the telescope drive bracket and the cam portion biases the blocking portion out of a first jacket path to allow a second, greater range of travel for the first jacket.
