Abstract: A steering column for a motor vehicle comprises a jacket tube, at which locally at least one bearing section is provided for the fastening of the jacket tube to a console mounted on the forward structure of the vehicle. In order to achieve a significant reduction of the shaking of the steering wheel also at critical speed ranges and in the case of a body of a convertible, the bearing section of the jacket tube, as viewed in the transverse direction, is displaceably arranged on the console. In addition, the jacket tube, by way of a supporting element, is connected to a vehicle body part having a high impedance in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
