The steering shaft can be turned by a steering wheel operatively connected to the upper end of the shaft by first energy absorbing device which deforms in a controlled manner when impacted. The steering shaft also has an integral helical portion between the upper and lower ends which collapses under a predetermined load if the vehicle is impacted so that the steering wheel remains in position and so that impact energy is absorbed.
