A steering column assembly 1 for a vehicle has a shroud, supporting a steering shaft 4, with an axially movable upper part 2 and an axially fixed lower part 3 so as to move telescopically for reach adjustment of the steering column assembly. A pivot connects part of lower part 3 to a fixed part of the vehicle. A clamp mechanism 8 releasably fixes upper and lower parts 2, 3 relative to each another and also fixes the shroud in position relative to a further fixed part of the vehicle. A fixed mounting bracket is provided with a guide track (26, Figure 2) complementary to a guide element 22 of a spring support 14. Spring support 14 is fixed to upper shroud part 2 and bears on the mounting bracket to provide a reaction force at least partially supporting the shroud when the clamp mechanism is released.
