Technician A says that collapsed steering column damage should be evaluated after any front-end collision. Technician B says a collapsible steering column should be replaced if it shows any signs of deformation. Who is right?

Question

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and B. Both technicians are correct. Collapsible steering columns should be inspected after any front-end collision, and if they show any signs of deformation (which means they've been compressed in a collision), they should be replaced as they will not function properly in a future collision.
