A bushing for a steering column rake bracket assembly includes a flange portion. The bushing also includes a tubular segment having an inner wall defining a central hole and an outer wall. The outer wall of the tubular segment includes a first flat outer surface. The outer wall also includes a second flat outer surface. The outer wall further includes a first curved end surface connecting the first flat outer surface and the second flat outer surface. The outer wall yet further includes a second curved end surface connecting the first flat outer surface and the second flat outer surface.

Rake bracket coupling assembly for steering column

A telescope mechanism for a steering column includes a jacket. The telescope mechanism also includes a telescope actuator housing mounted to the jacket. The telescope mechanism further includes a capture bracket positioned on the telescope actuator housing and mechanically fastened to the jacket on a first side of the telescope actuator housing and on a second side of the telescope actuator housing.

Dual sided bracket in steering column for energy absorption robustness

A steering column assembly includes a jacket assembly. The steering column assembly also includes a transmission shift assembly operatively connected to the jacket assembly. The steering column assembly further includes a brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) device comprising an inhibitor pin translatable between an extended position and a retracted position, the inhibitor pin preventing shifting of the transmission shift assembly out of a PARK position when the inhibitor pin is in the extended position. The steering column assembly yet further includes an inhibitor pin monitoring system. The inhibitor pin monitoring system includes a sensor operatively coupled to a stationary portion of the BTSI device, relative to the inhibitor pin. The inhibitor pin monitoring system also includes a magnetic ring operatively fixed coupled to the inhibitor pin, the sensor detecting when the inhibitor pin is in the extended position.

Brake transmission shift interlock inhibit pin position detection

A steering column assembly includes a column jacket. The column assembly also includes a drive bracket movable in a telescope direction, the drive bracket coupled to the column jacket to move the column jacket in the telescope direction. The column assembly further includes a plate operatively coupled to the column jacket and operatively coupled to the drive bracket, the plate defining a slot extending from an open end of the plate. The column assembly yet further includes a tab disposed within the slot to prevent pivoting of the drive bracket.

Anti-rotation feature for steering system energy absorption assembly

A brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) solenoid includes a solenoid housing having an inner surface defining a lock pin cavity. The solenoid also includes a lock pin positioned within the lock pin cavity, the lock pin moveable between a first position and a second position. The solenoid further includes a bumper protruding into the lock pin cavity and stationary relative to the lock pin, the bumper defining the first position of the lock pin.

Electronic park lock solenoid noise dampener

An adjustable steering column assembly includes a support bracket, a jacket assembly, and a locking assembly. The support bracket is configured to connect to a vehicle. The jacket assembly is connected to the support bracket. The locking assembly is connected to and disposed between the support bracket and an adjustment lever. The locking assembly includes an inner cam connected to the support bracket and an outer cam rotatably connected to the inner cam and connected to the adjustment lever. The adjustment lever and the outer cam are movable between an unlock position and a lock position.
