Steering wheel return assist mechanism for use in a vehicle having a steering column assembly rotatably supporting a steering shaft comprises a spring operated return assist device which permits a limited degree of free rotation of the steering shaft before activation of the mechanism. The return assist device urges the shaft and the steering wheel to a near central neutral position after rotation of the steering wheel. In a second embodiment, a second return assist means structured substantially the same and spaced axially apart and inverted along the steering shaft from the first return assist means is disclosed so that the steering shaft is urged to a near central neutral position after the steering wheel has been turned in either direction.
