Abstract
An adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle includes a steering shaft that is mounted in such a manner as to be able to rotate about its axis in an adjusting part, a holding clamp attached to the vehicle for holding the steering column, a holding part, and a fixing device that is opened and closed to allow the adjustment or fixing of the position of steering shaft. The holding clamp includes side cheeks which can be drawn together by closing the fixing device and as a consequence the holding part can be clamped. The holding clamp is formed as a once-piece component and the holding part is swivel mounted on a swivel pin in the holding clamp.
