An arrangement for securing a steering column to a cross member, in particular to a cockpit carrying member, of a motor vehicle, includes a steering column with retaining means. This arrangement makes it possible on the one hand with simple means to secure the steering column to the cross member of the motor vehicle and, on the other hand, with a further reduction in costs and weight, to enable a high degree of flexibility in relation to the use of the cross member and the steering column for different motor vehicles, by including a cross member that has, for securing the steering column, at least one hole running transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cross member for at least one securing means, and retaining means of the steering column wherein the retaining means are secured by at least one securing means to the cross member.
Arrangement for securing a steering column to a cross member of a motor vehicle, the steering column including retaining means, the cross member including, for securing the steering column, at least one clearance hole running transverse to a longitudinal direction of the cross member for at least one securing means, and the retaining means of the steering column being secured by at least one securing means to the cross member, wherein a sleeve is provided for at least one securing means, which is inserted through a passage hole from a face side.
