Abstract: A steering shaft for a motor vehicle may include a hollow outer shaft and an inner shaft. The hollow outer shaft may receive the inner shaft in a torque-transmitting manner and in an axially displaceable manner. An elastic boot may be connected to the inner shaft or the outer shaft. The steering shaft is protected against ingress of dirt and moisture and at the same time has a homogeneous displacement force and can be adjusted with low noise. The boot may be arranged at least partially within the steering shaft and may have a free end with a closed configuration.

Abstract: A steering column may include a casing unit that can be connected to a body of a motor vehicle. A steering spindle may be rotatably mounted in the casing unit about a longitudinal axis. The casing unit may have an inner casing that is received in an outer casing so as to be telescopically adjustable in a direction of the longitudinal axis. A clamping device may be switchable between a fixing position in which it fixes the inner casing relative to the outer casing and a release position in which it allows telescopic adjustment of the inner casing relative to the outer casing. An energy absorption device may include a deformation element arranged between the inner casing and the outer casing. The casing unit may comprise a cable mounting that includes a fastening element for holding a cable and that is at least partly formed as a deformation element.
