Section 11-04: Steering Column
1993 Mustang Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION

Steering Column Lock

The column is attached to the brake pedal support bracket by two collar-type brackets bolted to flanges on the brake support. The lower column retaining collar is a sintered iron ring with protrusions within the ring. The protrusions act as a die which deforms the outer tube as the column collapses. Any extrusion of the outer tube through the iron ring die requires that the outer tube and mounting brackets be replaced as an assembly. Refer to the illustrations for exploded views and nomenclature.

The key release button functions to prevent inadvertent locking of the steering wheel. The release button is located on the lower LH of the steering column below the turn signal lever. The ignition switch cannot be rotated to the LOCK position until the release button is pushed.
