JCR170 TRW Steering Column

Basically, the steering column connects your steering wheel to the steering gear. It’s a pretty involved assembly – it doesn’t just turn, it has to allow for tilt and telescoping adjustment in many vehicles, and it houses all the electrical connections for things like your horn, cruise control, and sometimes even airbag components. It also includes things like the ignition switch and shift linkage on some vehicles. It's a lot more than just a metal tube. It’s absolutely central to controlling the direction of the vehicle. Think of it like the spine of your steering system – everything connects through it. When you turn the steering wheel, that motion travels down the column, through a series of components, ultimately turning the wheels. It's the direct link between your input and the car's reaction. Well, without a functioning steering column, you can't steer, obviously. But it's not just about being able to turn the wheels. A worn or damaged steering column can cause loose steering, making the vehicle feel unstable and unpredictable. It can also affect the operation of those other systems I mentioned - horn not working, cruise control failing, or even airbag issues, which are obviously serious. You’ll notice if something's starting to go wrong – things like difficulty turning the wheel, unusual noises when you turn, or a feeling of play in the steering. It’s a critical safety component. You can find replacements for most makes and models over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking to tackle a repair yourself, but if you’re not comfortable with that, definitely have a professional take a look. Reliable performance guaranteed: Steering Column (MPN JCR170) has a 12-month warranty!
