A steering system for a motor vehicle having a steering column and a steering gear. The column is supported, in part, by a bracket situated between the vehicle's fire wall and instrument panel. The column is also supported by the steering gear which, in turn, is secured by frangible means to the chassis frame. In the event of an impact load causing the collapse of the front vehicle structure, the gear separates from the frame and the column swings about its support on the bracket thereby causing the steering wheel to move away from its normal operating position. |
