Steering shaft for a motor vehicle

A steering shaft for a motor vehicle comprising:

• a hollow outer shaft;
• an inner shaft arranged coaxially in the outer shaft, wherein the inner shaft is configured to telescope relative to the outer shaft in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the steering shaft, wherein the inner shaft is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the outer shaft via rolling bodies, wherein the rolling bodies are configured to roll in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the rolling bodies bear in a positively locking manner in a circumferential direction with regard to a rotation about the longitudinal axis between rolling body raceways formed on the inner shaft and on the outer shaft;
• and
• a securing element including a supporting body arranged between supporting faces configured on the inner shaft and on the outer shaft and supported in a positively locking manner in the circumferential direction, wherein the securing element is attached to a longitudinal end of the outer shaft and protrudes longitudinally from the outer shaft,
• wherein the supporting body is spaced apart from the supporting faces of the inner shaft,
• wherein the securing element is comprised of a first securing element and a second securing element, wherein the first securing element is circumferentially spaced apart from the second securing element and is only indirectly connected to the second securing element, wherein the first and second securing elements are indirectly connected via the outer shaft.
