Pontiac Phoenix Steering Column
The Pontiac Phoenix Steering Column links the steering wheel to the steering gear, giving the driver direct control over which way the vehicle goes. The initial designs were equipped with a rigid shaft that simply transmitted angle and torque. The later Pontiac models went with a collapsible Steering Column. The collapsible Steering Column was foldable in case of a frontal impact. That is, it was able to absorb energy to protect the occupants. In order for the handling to stay smooth, the inner shaft connects to the external housing using a tolerance ring that holds firm during normal driving but allows the column to shorten when crash forces reach a preset level. The universal joints close to the floor enable flexibility so that the steering gear can be located where weight is balanced yet feedback remains immediate. Since the late sixties, every Steering Column incorporates an ignition linked steering lock, a theft-deterrent system that locks the steering wheel when the key is removed. Many Pontiac Phoenix drivers love that the Steering Column has tilt and length adjustment to ensure the wheel is in the ideal position. In addition, this benefits the strength of the steering. Paying attention to rough operation, unusual noises, or the wheel failing to self-center prompts Phoenix owners to self-diagnose for Steering Column damage before safety is compromised.

Be careful not to lean on or drop the column, as this could weaken the column's structure and impair its performance. If the car has been in an accident which resulted in frame damage, major body damage or in which the steering column was impacted. the column could be damaged or misaligned and should be checked by a qualified mechanic. If disassembly of the column is necessary. The steering column is installed by reversing the sequence of the removal operation, with the following note: when reattaching the shift indicator cable clip to the shift bowl, place the shift lever in the 'Neutral' position, then position the clip on the edge of the bowl so that the shift indicator pointer is pointing to the 'N'.
