Abstract
A rolling bearing device for a steering column includes an outer ring, an inner ring, at least one row of rolling elements arranged between the rings, and a sleeve mounted in the bore of the inner ring and coming to bear axially against the ring. The sleeve provides a bore designed to come into radial contact with a shaft, and a member for the axial retention of the sleeve that is designed to engage with the shaft. The sleeve has at least one elastic body at least partially delimiting the bore. The axial retention member is mounted to bear axially directly against the sleeve on the opposite side from the inner ring.
