The invention relates to a steering shaft (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a hollow shaft (20) and an inner shaft (30) which is arranged in the hollow shaft (20) in a coaxial manner, is telescopable relative to the hollow shaft (20) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) of the steering shaft (10), and is connected to the hollow shaft (20) via at least one ball (40) so as to transmit a torque, wherein a ball cage (50) is arranged coaxially between the inner shaft (30) and the hollow shaft (20), said ball cage having at least one radial receiving opening (51) in which a ball (40) is received in a freely rotatable manner and which has a circumferential opening edge. The aim of the invention is to allow an improved mounting of balls with different ball diameters. According to the invention this is achieved in that at least one holding tongue (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e, 6f) which extends over a circumferential subregion of the receiving opening (51) protrudes from the opening edge.
