ABSTRACT:
A collapsible steering column is mounted to a vehicle by upper and lower bend straps. The bend straps are located such that their energy-absorbing function is not susceptible to interference by intrusion of the dash during front end impact. The steering shaft length is minimized through the use of a break-away coupling located substantially inward of the dash and within the passenger compartment.
