The intermediate member has an internal thread and a ring-like projection on the external surface. The threaded steering terminal, the intermediate member, and the tube are connected in a concentric arrangement. The internal thread and the ring-like projection of the intermediate member allow, through the rotative movement, to adjust the length of the assembly with no axial movement of the intermediate member.
