The basic function of steering column and intermediate steering shaft is to establish the mechanical link between steering wheel and steering gear. The steering wheel and the torsion barTorsion bar of the steering gear are linked in such a way that any rotation initiated at the steering wheel will be converted almost without loss or backlash. Torques issued from the steering gear are likewise converted to the steering wheel. The connecting elements, steering column and intermediate steering shaft, hence, affect the driveabilityDriveability and the perceptible contact with the road. Beside this basic mechanical function, there are now various other demands to both subassemblies.
