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.

Saab trivia

• When it comes to accessories, it's hard to beat the Toppola Camper, which turns a Saab 99 and Saab 900 into a sort of campervan. The Toppola comes with a cooker, double bed, and heater, and is attached to the Saab by removing the rear door.
• The Saab 92 was the first production car to put the petrol tank in between the rear wheels. They did this to improve driver safety, and it helped with balance too.
• If you were buying yourself a Saab before 1952, you had the colour choices of green, green, and… green. It wasn't until 1952 that Saab started offering other colours for car buyers.
• There was lots of controversy over the Saab 93 in Sweden. Not so much the car itself, but the marketing for the vehicle clearly showed a young couple in bed together, but the woman wasn't wearing a wedding ring. Complaints poured in from shocked Swedes, and Saab hastily added a wedding ring.
• The world's first soft-top hybrid car was the Saab BioPower Hybrid Concept, and it premiered at the 2006 Stockholm Motor Show. The car ran off a combination of pure ethanol and electricity, and so is also the first hybrid to be 100% free of carbon emissions.
