Abstract
An X-axis steering column includes a cap, a U-shaped tab attached to the cap, and an upper tube that slides relative to a lower tube. An attachment for attaching the cap to the U-shaped tab includes two screws and at least one stop in contact with at least one lateral groove. The at least one stop is configured to absorb lateral loads without any longitudinal movement of the steering column being impeded, including during adjustment of the steering column or during an impact due to a collision.
