ABSTRACT:
This integrated wheel hub and upper steering shaft assembly foreshortens the steeing column and steering wheel assembly. The connection of the steering wheel to the upper steering shaft between the upper and lower bearings of the bearing housing allows the angularly adjustable head to be tilted with the wheel hub closer to the point of the pivot. This provides for foreshortened steering column length while retaining effective energy absorbing stroke for use in a side range of vehicle applications including those with short fore/aft space for column installation.
