The tilt mechanism is made up of two plates to guide the movement of the steering column through the use of a bolt and threads through the middle portion. Tightening or loosening the handle/bolt will allow the angle to be adjusted. 

U-Joint

  • The U-joint connects the lower steering column to the upper steering column. It is a part of the upper steering column assembly.
  • The part can be found here.
  • To mate this to the proper point of the master geometry, the feature Move/Copy was used in SolidWorks.
    • This was necessary as the U-joint CAD was supplied from the McMaster-Carr website as one part instead of as an assembly. Using this tool allows the part to rotate its individual components about a point.
