Steering Column: Description

Swing-away steering column is held by a clamp and leaf spring. On impact, the "U" joint shaft pushes steering column against the leaf spring. The spring allows the column to disengage and swing away.

CAUTION: Applying excessive pressure, or causing impact to mainshaft during service, may cause the column to disengage.
