What are the symptoms of a faulty steering column?

[VanTyler]

If the steering column is damaged, the vehicle will be difficult to control, and steering deviations or drifts are likely to occur. Below is an introduction to the steering column: 1. The steering column includes structures such as the upper column tube, lower column tube, upper steering shaft, lower steering shaft, upper mounting bracket, and lower mounting bracket. 2. The upper end of the lower column tube is sleeved inside the lower end of the upper column tube, with the upper steering shaft installed in the upper column tube and the lower steering shaft installed in the lower column tube. 3. Small shaft ends are welded with several metal spring pieces along the axial and circumferential directions, with the circumferential height of the spring pieces exceeding the large-diameter parts at both ends of the lower steering shaft.
