Steering Column - Fixed: Description

Steering columns used on these models are of collapsible 2-piece design. Columns use shear pins to absorb collision impact. Steering shaft is connected directly to steering gear with flexible couplings on Cressida models.

Tercel and Pickup models use intermediate steering shafts. On 2WD Pickup models, intermediate shaft is connected to steering gear by a flexible coupling. On Land Cruiser, Tercel and 4-Runner models, intermediate shaft is connected to steering gear and to main steering shaft by universal joints.
