Abstract
A steering shaft especially for a motor vehicle has a torque-induced operative connection of a steering handling device with a steered wheel with a first shaft and with a second shaft, the shafts being connected torque-induced over a shaft joint with movavable joints. In order to create a steering shaft, the shaft joint of which achieves a large range, over which the deflection angle can be adjusted in all directions, while, at the same time, rotational nonuniformities of the steering shaft are minimized, the shaft joint is fixed at a component, which is attached to the vehicle, so that it can be swiveled approximately about the joint center with a device for the pivotable mounting of the shaft joint.
