Abstract
A steering device for a car comprises an inner column for rotatably supporting one end of a steering shaft, an outer column for rotatably supporting the other end of the steering shaft, in which the inner column is slidably fitted, a couple of clamp portions formed integrally with the outer column and each having an embracing surface for embracing the inner column, and a fastening mechanism for making the couple of clamp portions embrace and thus fasten the inner column by moving the couple of clamp portions close to each other. The steering shaft is moved in the axial direction by releasing the fastening mechanism so that a telescopic position of the steering shaft is adjustable.
