Steering Column

All models are equipped with a tilt column. Steering column components are designed to collapse if impacted during a collision. Steering shaft and column jacket are 2-piece units injected with plastic to hold the 2 pieces together as one unit. See Figure and Figure . If column and/or steering wheel are impacted, the injected plastic will shear, allowing the column assembly to collapse.
