Abstract
A steering column for a motor vehicle may include a casing unit in which a steering spindle is mounted such that the steering spindle is rotatable about a longitudinal axis that extends in a longitudinal direction. The casing unit has at least two telescopically guided casing tubes that are adjustable relative to one another in the longitudinal direction, an intermediate element that is movable in the longitudinal direction and is arranged between the casing tubes, and a positioning device for positioning the intermediate element in the longitudinal direction relative to the casing tubes. The positioning device may have elongate guide tracks that are arranged on the casing tubes and the intermediate element and interact with one another such that they position the casing tubes and the intermediate element relative to one another in a defined manner.
