Steering Column
Index | Home

The non adjustable Sierra column comes with an aluminium yoke which can be removed and all of the switchgear and mounting lugs cut off to give a smooth finish but is otherwise fitted as it comes.

If it is a later adjustable column all of the mechanism can be removed including the outer convoluted section by drilling out the spot welds on the lower section. This is necessary to clear the chassis diagonal.

Whichever column the upper outer is mounted on the bracket provided using an exhaust clamp and the lower inner column is located in the standard Sierra bulkhead bearing. Between the end which protrudes through the firewall and the splined rack spindle a steering extension link fabricated from the original Sierra part and a corresponding Montego/Maestro link is fitted. (The fibre coupling on the Sierra link will not take the articulation).
