About Power Steering Column Electrics

The power steering column is responsible for aiding the driver when steering vehicles to considerably reduce the amount of physical effort required to turn the car wheels. In an electric system, a computer module applies torque from the motor. This torque is sent to the steering column, which is linked to the steering wheel. It is the job of the steering column to connect the steering wheel to the steering mechanism and transfer the torque exerted from the driver. All steering shafts are created from metal, but to make it more lightweight and for safety reasons, most adornments and switches are made of plastic. The steering column is created in a collapsible way, which means in the event of a collision it will break instead of driving in to the chest of the driver on impact.

Most steering columns are also responsible for the control of other electrical functions in the car, for example the ignition switch, turning signals and windscreen wipers. The majority of the steering column is located in the driver’s compartment, but does protrude in to the engine compartment too. It is located under the dashboard. Airbags are fitted in to the steering column to prevent injuries.

Jaguar trivia

• The Jaguar XJ has that luxurious leather interior, but did you know that all of that leather comes very specifically from Scottish Angus Bulls? Bulls don't get stretch marks, and they don't get bitten much by mosquitoes either. Belly and neck skin becomes the dash and door finish, while the backbone and the rump are used for the seats.
• The iconic Jaguar ornament on the bonnet isn't included as standard anymore. Lots of people seem to think it's illegal, but they're not, as long as the ornament is spring-loaded. The jaguar ornament is known in-house as The Leaper, and you can still buy the Leaper as an after-purchase accessory.
• When they first launched in 1922, Jaguar was called the Swallow Sidecar Company. They changed the name in 1945 because of the unfortunate use of the letters 'SS' by Germany in the war.
• PM Margaret Thatcher was determined to keep Jaguar as a British company, and in 1984 she announced that the brand was protected from foreign purchasing. The government retained a 50% share of the company until it became clear that foreign investment was essential as 1990 rolled around.
• The most expensive car in Jaguar's history is the XJ220. It cost a rather intimidating £413,000 in 1991 and is also one of the fastest cars they've ever built, capable of getting up to 217mph.
