STEERING
DESCRIPTION
The
steering
system
consists
of
recirculating
ball
type
gear
box
and
parallelogram
linkage
These
systems
give
good
response
light
handling
and
utmost
durability
Moreover
the
steering
linkage
is
equipped
with
a
torsion
rubber
system
idler
arm
which
absorbs
shock
from
the
wheel
Check
the
lubricant
of
gear
box
every
10
000
km
6
000
miles
and
replenish
recommended
oil
as
required
The
steering
linkage
should
be
greased
up
with
wheel
bearing
grease
every
50
000
km
30
000
miles
All
necessary
service
procedures
for
the
steering
lock
system
are
described
in
the

Collapsible
steering
DESCRIPTION
This
column
is
designed
to
be
compressed
under
an
impact
When
an
automobile
is
being
driven
the
forward
movements
of
the
automobile
and
the
driver
constitute
a
form
of
energy
or
force
When
the
automobile
is
involved
in
a
head
on
collision
the
primary
force
forward
move
ment
of
the
car
is
suddenly
halted
while
the
secondary
force
the
driver
continues
in
the
forward
direction
A
severe
collision
generally
involves
these
two
forces
primary
and
secondary
The
secondary
impact
occurs
when
the
driver
thrusts
forward
onto
the
steering
wheel
and
column
The
collapsible
column
is
designed
to
absorb
primary
and
secondary
forces
to
the
extent
that
the
severity
of
the
secondary
impact
is
reduced
thereby
reducing
the
tenden
cy
to
move
rearward
into
the
driver
s
compartment
A
split
second
later
when
the
driver
is
thrown
forward
the
secondary
impact
this
energy
is
also
partially
absorbed
by
contraction
characteristics
of
the
column
When
the
collapsible
column
is
installed
in
a
car
it
is
no
more
susceptible
to
damage
than
an
ordinary
column
however
when
the
column
is
removed
special
care
is
required
in
handling
the
assembly
When
the
column
is
removed
from
the
car
such
actions
as
a
sharp
blow
on
the
end
of
the
steering
shaft
or
shift
levers
leaning
on
the
column
assembly
or
dropping
of
the
assembly
could
bend
the
steering
column
jacket
especially
the
bellows
part
which
absorbs
the
energy
