A tolerance take-up member for a bearing of a steering column assembly, for example, comprises two substantially annular parts 1, 3, one of the parts being inset in the other and protruding from it and being provided with a taper 5 to fit between one member such as a tube or shaft 7 and another member such as the bearing 9. Means by which the tolerance take-up member is held onto tube or shaft 7 may include a circlip 11, a snap-fit lug/rib (13, Fig 4) or an annular disc (14, Fig 5); each positioned with regards annular groove 12. The two parts 1,3 can be made of different materials and preferably are moulded out of plastics material of different hardnesses and/or resiliences, such as acetal (polyoxymethylene) resins and/or thermoplastic elastomers. |
