Angular contact bearing assembly for use in a steering column and method for assembling a steering column

The invention relates to an angular contact bearing assembly for use in a steering column, comprising at least one rolling bearing comprising conductive components, a sleeve (14) for mounting an conductive inner ring (12) of the at least one rolling bearing on a shaft (10); and at least one conductive part (20) creating an electrically conductive contact between at least one of the conductive components (12) of the at least one rolling bearing and the shaft (10). In order to ensure a good electrical contact and to allow for tolerances of the parts, it is proposed that the conductive part (20) is provided with a first elastically deformable contact portion (26) to conductive component, and a second elastically deformable contact portion (30) to the shaft (10), wherein the conductive part (20) is mounted on the sleeve (14) such that a pressure applied to the first contact portion (26) and/or to the second contact portion (30) is at least partially transferred to the other contact portion (26, 30) respectively.
