A steering column assembly 100 for a vehicle is provided, with a support bracket 122 attachable to a vehicle and supporting a shroud 112 which in turn supports a steering shaft 102. A clamp mechanism 134 is provided and is movable between a locked position, where shroud 112 is fixed relative to support bracket 122, and an unlocked position, in which shroud 112 is movable relative to support bracket 122 in a rake direction. A spring support 158, comprising a coil spring which may be coiled around a clamp bolt, is secured to support bracket 122 and at least partially supports shroud 112 when clamp 134 is unlocked. Spring support 158 also provides a force to bias clamp 134 toward the unlocked position.
