Steering column mounting

摘要

The invention provides a mounting assembly (10, 12, 14, 16, 10a, 12a) for a steering column of a vehicle and a method for mounting a steering column to a vehicle. The mounting assembly (10, 12, 14, 16, 10a, 12a) includes a steering column member (18, 20, 18a) having a first aperture (22, 24, 22a) extending along an aperture axis (26, 28, 26a). The mounting assembly (10, 12, 14, 16, 10a, 12a) also includes a rigid member (30, 32, 34a) extending between first and second ends (36, 38, 40, 42, 36a, 38a) along the aperture axis (26, 28, 26a) in the first aperture (22, 24, 22a). The mounting assembly (10, 12, 14, 16, 10a, 12a) also includes a resilient member (44, 46, 44a) extending along the aperture axis (26, 28, 26a) in the first aperture (22, 24, 22a) past at least one of the first and second ends (36, 38, 40, 42, 36a, 38a) of the rigid member (30, 32, 34a).
