An energy absorption strip (40) having a generally elongated body portion (46), a first end (42) and a curved portion (44) between the first end (42) and the generally elongated body (46) portion that forms and angle between the first end (42) and the generally elongated body portion (46). The energy absorption strip (40) is adapted to be carried within a steering column assembly (10) and absorb energy by plastic deformation during translation of a column tube (20) during an impact exceeding a threshold load. A steering column assembly (10) including the energy absorption strip (40) is also contemplated.
