TILT STEERING COLUMN
Power Assisted System (Power Steering)
C: STEERING SUPPORT BEAM
The steering column is held in position by a support beam which is installed crosswise in the ve-
hicle body at a level close to the steering wheel to reduce the overhang distance of the steering
wheel from the supporting point of the column. The steering shaft upper bearing is also located
close to the steering wheel to increase supporting efficiency as well as to minimize vibration of the
steering wheel.
