Steering Wheel, Column & Shaft Information

Why are Steering Wheel, Column & Shaft Part(s) Important

The Steering Wheel, Column and Shaft are a part of an ever evolving system designed to keep your vehicle under your control in defiance of momentum and gravity. In this scenario "your control" is exerted through steering, which simply means staying on a desired course. That sounds like a simple enough idea… until you apply it to a huge mass of steel lumbering along at high rates of speed over not-always-consistent terrain. That’s why your vehicle relies on an amalgamation of pumps, hoses, rods, linkages, mechanical and hydraulic energy and of course the steering wheel, column and shaft.

At one extreme end of the steering process is the combination of the steering wheel, column and shaft. These three parts come together to form the conduit that will take your steering wheel action and transfer it though the firewall and down to the sea of steering components that magnify that motion and pass it along to the wheels. While the steering column may house a number of components aside from the steering wheel, like the turn signals, wiper controls and cruise controls, the shaft is much more bare. The steering shaft only need carry the commands of these systems down to their respective wiring harness or, in the case of the steering wheel, the transfer goes all the way to the end of the shaft where the steering box or rack and pinion usually picks it up.

The steering wheel gets the spotlight here which explains the wide variation of after market steering wheels and steering wheel accessories available- from built in radio controls to after market steering wheel covers.
