An installable component which serves to absorb energy and is intended to be used with steering wheels of motor vehicles having a steering wheel hub which is recessed from the rim of the steering wheel consists of a plurality of deformable metal rods, which have parallel axes and are arranged in a circle and at each end are firmly interconnected by a metal flange. In order to improve the energy absorption performance the metal rods are adapted to buckle in the direction of the larger principal moment of inertia under an axially acting pressure force, and at least one of the broadsides, which extend at right angles to the axis of the larger principal moment of inertia and include a right angle with the radius of the installable component, is provided with spur teeth, which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction.
