Crush Column

[Tonker1]

Hi, I've searched around on the site looked at pictures online and can't find an answer to a question.

Aside from the crush can, does the e-body steering column have any inbuilt crush components, like hexagonal wire mesh? So without out the can, is it a crush column?

Cheers in advance.

The centre shaft can collapse as well. It is a two piece column. Held with plastic pins.

Cheers,

The laws for power adders in my state of Australia require a crush column, this leaves options to plan and scheme at a better price!

The outer column shaft is not a solid tube. It's designed to split right up the center when in an accident

I know we call it a crush can, but I'd guess your chest would crush before the can?
When I had mine off to fix the turn signal switch it felt pretty stout.

I thought the collapsing lower section was the only real "safety" part of the set-up.

Anyone ever actually see the can crushed after an accident ?
