Abstract
A steering shaft for a motor vehicle may include a first shaft part and a second shaft part. The first and second shaft parts may be connected in a way such that torques are transferred. A damping element can be disposed between the first and second shaft parts for damping oscillations and/or vibrations. The damping element may contact a carrier along a contact area. The damping element may be coupled to the carrier at only a portion of the contact area. The carrier may be, for example, the first shaft part, the second shaft part, a sleeve, or a bushing.
