The invention relates to a connection between a steering mechanism and a steering column (1) of a motor vehicle steering system. The connection comprises a steering coupling (2) which connects these two components, is attached by one end (3) to the steering mechanism or to the steering column (1) and, at the other end (4), bears a coupling piece (5) in an articulated manner. The latter forms a connecting partner with the other component (1) in each case and has two clamping jaws (6, 7) which, after the coupling piece (5) has been pivoted around the axis of articulation (8), engage around a section (9) of the other component (1).
