| Abstract | This report provides the static force-deflection test results for 28 steering columns and 24 steering wheels used in domestic and import passener cars from model year 1975 to 1985. The steering columns and wheels tested include approzimately 90 percent of the domestic and import passenger vehicles from model years 1975 to 1981. Steering component testing was conducted at the Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center, Watertown, MA. The test procedure and the processing of the test results to enerate data files for use in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Passenger/Driver Simulation (PADS) model are described. Loads for all tests were applied at a rate of one inch per minute. |
