A steering column assembly comprises an upper column jacket defining an internal cavity, a clamping shaft, a retainer disposed at an outboard end of the clamping shaft, and an inner clamping block disposed in the internal cavity. A steering control shaft is supported for rotation about a longitudinal column axis through the internal cavity. The clamping shaft defines a clamping axis and has an in-board end that is configured to interact with the inner clamping block. The inner clamping block is configured for interacting with the clamping shaft to impose a compressive load on the upper column jacket between the retainer and the inner clamping block. |
