An axially adjustable steering column assembly includes a first support structure. The axially adjustable steering column assembly also includes a second support structure, wherein the first support structure is axially adjustable relative to the second support structure in a telescoping manner. The axially adjustable steering column assembly further includes a plurality of telescope interface assemblies disposed between the first support structure and the second support structure. Each of the telescope interface assemblies include a track formed in at least one of the first support structure and the second support structure. Each of the telescope interface assemblies also includes a plurality of metal balls disposed in the track to provide a rolling interface between the first support structure and the second support structure during axial adjustment therebetween.
