The construction of the steering shaft

Many manufacturers make steering shafts that allow for rational arrangement of steering components. In addition, this type of shafts increases injury safety in the event of an accident. The pivot shaft prevents the steering wheel from moving inward, minimizing the chance of chest damage.

In addition, a mounting sleeve, a housing, a contact group, fasteners and a protective boot form the steering shaft. The shaft itself with swivel joints is placed in a boot made of rubber. The task of the boot is to protect the steel part from dust, dirt, abrasive particles of large or small fractions.

Modern S-TR brand Steering Shaft contain all kinds of information and functional controls, such as direction indicators, headlight switches, wiper, washer and others. The ignition lock may contain special anti-theft sensors that block the steering wheel movement and ignition on.
