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.

Mazda trivia

• The name Mazda comes from both the name of the founder (Jujiro Matsuda) and the Zoroastrian God of Wisdom, Ahura Mazda.
• The small, lightweight RX-3 caused a huge uproar in the '70s when it won the Japanese Grand Prix touring car category. The reason for the shock was that it beat the Skyline GT-R!
• The 1975 Mazda Roadpacer came with a unique (at the time) anti-hijacking feature. When driving at more than 10mph, the car automatically performed central locking on all of the doors. It also got 9mpg, but it's the central locking that stands out.
• Mazda is the only Japanese car manufacturer not to be based in Tokyo. Instead, they work out of Hiroshima and were there when a nuclear bomb was dropped. The Mazda factories actually survived the atomic bomb thanks to a small mountain being in the way.
• Mazda is the only Japanese car manufacturer to have ever won the 24 Hours of Le Mans contest. They won in 1991 with the rotary-powered 787B, sending shockwaves throughout the racing community.
