An automobile steering column is disclosed herein having a fixed cylindrical housing enclosing a rotatable steering mechanism composed of a pair of telescoping sections joined in a slidable and shock absorbing splined connection. A steering wheel is carried on the end of one column section by a yieldable and resilient coupling member adapted to collapse under pressure when the column section to which it is attached has reached its limit of sliding travel. A limit stop is provided operable between the end of the housing and the hub of the steering wheel.
