Golf Cart Steering Column & Shaft

Think of the golf cart steering column as the rigid conduit that houses and protects the steering shaft. The steering shaft itself, often with one or more universal joints (U-joints), is the mechanical link that transmits torque. This system must be precisely aligned and free of excessive play to ensure:

Direct Feel: 1:1 translation of steering wheel input to the steering gear.

Safety & Reliability: A column that collapses in a collision (collapsible design) and components that won't fail under stress.

Comfort: Elimination of vibrations, knocking sounds, or stiffness caused by damaged U-joints or worn bearings.
