Steering Column Spring

Solution

Product Description

The Steering Column Spring is a critical automotive component engineered to support the performance, safety, and reliability of the steering column assembly. Manufactured from high-strength spring steel or stainless steel, it provides stable tension, resilience, and precise operation for smooth steering wheel rotation.

This spring absorbs operational stress, assists in the wheel’s return-to-center function after turns, and ensures secure electrical connections within the steering column, including airbag modules, horn switches, and steering wheel controls. With meticulous design and high-quality materials, the steering column spring guarantees long-term durability and optimal performance in both OEM and aftermarket applications.
