Abstract
A tilt steering assembly includes a support shaft extended along a tilt central axis. The support shaft is conductively assembled to a steering column and is unitarily rotated with the steering column during tilt adjustment. A resilient conductive member is interposed between a conductive end member provided at an end of the support shaft and a conductive fixed side plate including a support hole for supporting the support shaft. The steering column is grounded via the support shaft, the end member, the conductive member and the fixed side plate.
