What is the "steering column"?
The steering column is the shaft that connects the steering wheel to the vehicle's steering mechanism. It allows the driver to control the direction of the vehicle by turning the wheel. The column is usually adjustable, allowing the driver to change its position for comfort and control. It also contains various components like the ignition switch and sometimes buttons for additional vehicle controls, like turn signals or wipers. The steering column helps transfer the movement of the steering wheel to the wheels, ensuring the vehicle follows the driver's intended direction.
