Abstract
A tilt assist for a tiltable steering column of an automotive vehicle is provided and includes a double torsion spring having spaced coils mounted on opposite sides of the steering column. A U-shaped wire element connected to the two coils bears against the steering column and urges it in an upward direction. Spacers are disposed within the coils to prevent twisting and distortion.
