Abstract

A mounting structure of a steering column for a vehicle is provided with a column mounting bracket coupling the steering column to a cowl cross-member. A pedal bracket is coupled to a dash panel of the vehicle and a contact prevention part is provided at the column mounting bracket so that contact between an inner end of the pedal bracket and the column mounting bracket is minimized. Therefore, injuries to a driver and noise from vibration are minimized along with an increase in workability in manufacturing and assembly of the pedal structure.
