Installing a steering column is a critical step in the assembly of a vehicle, connecting the steering wheel to the steering rack or gearbox. It allows the driver to control the direction of the vehicle by turning the steering wheel, which in turn actuates the steering linkage.
A properly installed steering column ensures safe and precise vehicle handling, providing the driver with the necessary feedback and control over the vehicle’s direction. It also houses essential components such as the ignition switch, turn signal lever, and other controls, making it a key element in the overall functionality and safety of the vehicle.
