Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. In a collision where the front-end is heavily damaged, there is a high probability that the steering column has been damaged as well. Therefore, Technician A is correct in saying that it may need to be replaced. However, if the steering column is found to be undamaged and is being reused, Technician B is correct that it must be carefully inspected to ensure that there is no hidden damage.
