SHOCK ABSORBING STRUCTURE
(1) When the vehicle collides with something and
there is a load added to the steering shaft from
the gear box (primary shock), the lower shaft o
the steering shaft assembly crushes the
polyacetal resin, absorbing the shock load using
the friction of the steering column (lower) and
steering column bush as it slides into the lower
pipe.
(2) When the driver strikes his body on the steering
wheel (secondary shock), the steering column
bracket crushes the polyacetal resin, pushing it to
the front and absorbing the shock load.
