Column Support Bracket

Damage of bracket is indicated by separation of two break-away capsules which allow column to slip forward under severe impact. If capsules have moved more than 1/16", some column collapse may have occurred. Replace damaged brackets and inspect column for collapsed jacket or steering shaft components.
