Which component supports the steering column within the vehicle?

  • A.Bearings within a collapsible column tube
  • B.The steering box alone, which carries the whole weight of the column and the steering wheel attached to it above
  • C.The bulkhead grommet
  • D.The universal joints, which support the column at each end while permitting the angular movement between sections

Answer: A

The column runs in bearings within a tube supported from the bulkhead and the fascia, and the tube is designed to collapse in a frontal impact. Universal joints permit the change of angle between the column and the rack. The collapsible feature is a significant safety provision. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion.
