Abstract: A lifting and steering device for a steering wheel of a vehicle comprising a main fixed tubular body, a second tube, a wheel support fixed rigidly to said second tube, a shaft mounted for rotation in the upper closed end of said tubular body, a first coupling means for coupling the upper end of said shaft to a steering control, a second coupling means for coupling said tube to said shaft so as to interlock them for rotation while allowing axial movement therebetween, and a hydraulic actuator for moving said second tube axially with respect to said shaft. The actuator is disposed inside said tube and one of the two elements of the actuator, namely its cylinder or its piston rod, is coupled to the tube whereas the other element of the actuator is coupled to said shaft.
