Abstract
A hollow, tubular steering column jacket surrounds a hollow, tubular steering column shaft. First and second brackets are fitted into the first and second ends of the jacket for mounting the jacket to the stationary structure of a vehicle at one end and to receive a steering column switch assembly and a steering wheel at another end. A third bracket may be mounted intermediate the first and second ends of the jacket and to the vehicle for providing selective pivoting of the jacket with respect to the first end of the jacket. The steering column shaft has an integrally formed yoke at one end. The opposite end of the steering column shaft is formed for attachment to a vehicle steering wheel.
