A steering column assembly (100) and method for an automotive vehicle, comprising: an inner column tube (102), a steering shaft (104), at least one bracket structure, such as a top bracket (106), adapted for receiving a least a portion of the steering shaft and for mounting the steering column assembly within the automotive vehicle, the at feast one bracket structure (e.g., top bracket) including a side wall (124). A column housing (110) is pivotally coupled with the at least one bracket structure. An adjustable spacer (130) is disposed between the column housing and the top bracket and is mounted to the side wall of the at least one bracket structure by a single fastener (128), by a generally vertically oriented fastener adapted for allowing lateral translation (e.g., by sliding) for position adjustment of the spacer or both. The exposed surface of the spacer is in facing relation with a part of the column housing for contacting the column housing during a tilt adjustment.
