The steering column assembly is bolted to the steering wheel member and connected to the power assisted steering gear via an intermediate shaft fitted with a universal joint.

For reasons of safety the steering column assembly and steering column are telescopic and designed to slide over each other in the event of a collision.

The steering column is adjustable for height and reach.
