ABSTRACT:
A steering wheel assembly generally comprises a hub having a bore for receiving an outer end of a steering column shaft. A gear is disposed within the upper end of the bore. The gear includes circumferentially spaced teeth extending radially outwardly from an annular collar. The annular collar defines an axial bore having internal threads complementary to threads on an outer end of the steering column shaft. The gear includes an axial inner end, an opposite axial outer end and an axial mid-point. A web-flange tapers radially outwardly from the axial mid-point on the collar toward the inner end.
