Construction of a steering column support apparatus is achieved that is able to suppress an increase in the height dimension, maintain a function of the steering column 6a being able to displace smoothly in the forward direction during a secondary collision and prevent the steering column from dropping down even when the steering column 6a is displaced in the forward direction due to a secondary collision. The steering column support apparatus comprises a non-dropping bracket 45 that is fastened to the vehicle body, a dropping bracket 46 that is supported by the steering column 6a, a pair of bolts 47 and a pair of support capsules 16a. During a secondary collision, the supporting force of the support capsules 16a for supporting the non-dropping bracket 45 is lost and the steering column 6a displaces in the forward direction together with the bolts 47, support capsules 16a and dropping bracket 46, however, does not drop from the non-dropping bracket. |
