Mazda 3 Steering Column

Mazda 3 Steering Column provides the driver with direct, precise control by converting the input from the wheel to a smooth movement of the front wheels as well as protecting occupants. This straight but quick steering wheel-to-steering gear shaft is a rigid but responsive shaft to provide the car with precise angles and torque so the car responds immediately and provides a base to mount switches, wiring, and an ignition locking unit to prevent theft. The fixed tube that in primitive times was applied in early generations bore a simple mechanical lock but in the modern versions in the entire compact Mazda line the column is telescopically designed with a tolerance ring and lower universal joints, which enable the column to collapse into itself during a crash, which diverts the energy away from the driver instead of forcing it toward the driver. The new Steering Column also has adjustable tilt and length positions to enable motorists to customize reach and height to suit them, which was not always the case in the early models. Red flags such as grinding, inability to center the wheel, and failure of the lock signal to work indicate that the column assembly has worn out, and further driving might lead to loss of control. In the United States federal safety regulations and the corresponding European standards influence any Mazda Steering Column so that a high standard of safety in terms of anti-theft strength and crash performance is maintained. The polished column installed in the new 3 cars all in all proves to be a commitment of Mazda to responsive handling and safety for the occupants.
