Steering Column

DESCRIPTION






The steering column used in this vehicle is a tilt type. It has been designed to be serviced only as an assembly if it is determined to be defective. The replaceable components mounted on the steering column assembly are the key cylinder, ignition switch, multi-function switch, clockspring, speed control switches, lock cylinder trim ring, SKIM module, trim shrouds, driver airbag and steering wheel. These replaceable components of the steering column can be serviced without requiring removal of the steering column from the vehicle. The steering column intermediate shaft can also be serviced separately from the steering column.

OPERATION
Turning of the steering wheel is transferred through the steering column and intermediate shaft, to the power steering gear pinion shaft. The gear then moves the steering knuckles, steering the vehicle.
