Upper Steering Column Assembly

The upper steering column mechanical section starts at the steering wheel and ends at the connection to the lower steering spindle. The upper steering column is secured by 4 bolts to a bracket which is welded to the instrument panel support frame. In addition, the support frame bracket is secured by 4 bolts to the body. The electrical section pertains to the EPS servo unit which consists of the EPS Control Module and the electric motor. The remaining upper steering column section contains the steering lock with ignition switch and the steering column adjustment mechanism (manual tilt and telescopic). See Fig 1 .
