A steering column assembly includes a steering column extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. The steering column includes an outer jacket located at the first end, a middle jacket telescopically connected to the outer jacket and extending towards the second end, and an inner jacket telescopically connected to the middle jacket and extending further towards the second end. The steering column assembly also includes at least one axial adjustment actuator that telescopically moves the middle jacket with respect to the outer jacket. The at least one axial adjustment actuator includes a first gear rack fixed to the outer jacket and a second gear rack fixed to the inner jacket, at least one gear located between, and in tooth meshed engagement with, the first gear rack and the second gear rack and driven to translate the inner jacket relative to the outer jacket.
