Abstract
An adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle includes a steering spindle, a jacket unit bearing the steering spindle, a bracket unit, mountable on the chassis of the motor vehicle, with at least one side jaw, which extends laterally of the jacket unit and bears the jacket unit (3), an openable and closable securement device which includes a clamp bolt penetrating elongated holes in the jacket unit and in the at least one side jaw, as well as at least one bracing part penetrated by the clamp bolt. The at least one bracing part is implemented in the form of a substantially planar plate. A connection with the jacket unit and the side jaw, displaceable into the particular displacement direction of the steering column and nondisplaceable into the particular other displacement direction, is completed through at least one bolt penetrating an elongated hole, wherein the bolt is connected with one of the two parts to be connected nondisplaceably into both displacement directions and the elongated hole is disposed in the other of the two parts to be connected and extends in the particular displacement direction.
