The steering column assembly is bolted to the bulkhead. The steering column shaft
is mounted in two needle bearings suspended in rubber mountings in the steering
column assembly. A jointed intermediate shaft connects the steering column to the
power-assisted steering gear. For reasons of safety the steering column assembly
incorporates a collapsible steel cage, a telescopic steering column shaft and
an intermediate shaft with a deformation zone designed to crumple progressively
in the event of a head-on collision. In addition, the joint configuration is such
that the shaft will be directed away from the driver in a collision. Adjustment
of the position of the steering wheel spokes is achieved by adjusting the toe-in
on both sides of the car.
