1 Answers
Symptoms of a faulty steering column: The vehicle becomes difficult to control, and steering tends to deviate or drift easily. Function of the automobile steering column: The steering column and steering shaft at the front of the car move toward the driver's chest under the force of a collision, while the driver, affected by inertia, moves toward the steering wheel. Part of the energy is absorbed by the restraint system. A well-designed automotive steering system should minimize the driver's injuries during a collision. The application of an energy-absorbing steering column plays a significant role in absorbing energy in the automotive steering system. The function of the energy-absorbing steering column during a collision reduces the rearward displacement of the steering wheel during a frontal collision, decreases the severity of secondary injuries to occupants, and enhances the passive safety performance of the vehicle.
