A steering column 10 has a support base 12 fixedly mounted to a vehicle chassis and a steering member 14 connectable to a vehicle steering wheel and pivotally mounted to support base 12 about a first transverse axis B1. A steering column tilt adjustment device 24 is provided for tilt adjustment of steering member 14 relative to support base 12 by pivoting the steering member 14 about first axis B1 using an actuator 26 on one of base 12 and steering member 14 that causes an actuating member 32 to translate in a direction T1 and to be articulated on the other of base 12 and steering member 14 about an axis D1, and with two further pivots between steering member 14 and support base 12. Preferably, direction T1 is perpendicular to the pivot axis C1 of actuator 24.
