Abstract
An adjusting arrangement for adjusting the slope of a swivellably connected casing tube of a steering spindle of a motor vehicle comprises a supporting device which is disposed on the vehicle body and with which the casing tube is connected by way of a spindle drive by means of which the casing tube can be adjusted with respect to the vehicle body. At least one steering lever having two mutually spaced, parallel swivel shafts acts between the casing tube and the vehicle body, of which one swivel shaft is assigned to the supporting device and the other swivel shaft forms a component of the spindle drive, and the spindle drive takes over the function of the steering lever.
