On center actuating lever with cross axis rake and telescope lock

An adjustable steering column assembly, adjustable in rake and telescope directions, comprising:

• a rake bracket comprising a first leg and a second leg;
• a steering shaft extending within an upper jacket along a first axis between the first leg and second leg;
• a telescope clamp positioned about the upper jacket;
• a telescope lock connected to the telescope clamp and configured to operate the telescope clamp to selectively apply a first clamping force to the upper jacket to secure the steering shaft against adjustment in a telescope direction;
• an actuating lever coupled to a rake bolt, the rake bolt extending along a second axis and rotatable by the actuating lever, the second axis intersecting the telescope clamp;
• a rake lock positioned on the rake bolt and configured to selectively apply a second clamping force between the rake bracket and telescope clamp to secure the steering shaft against adjustment in the rake direction;
• and
• a lash adjusting device coupled to the telescope clamp and configured to adjust lash along the second axis.
