Collapsible Steering Assy Short

The Collapsible Steering Assy Short from Allstar Performance is a specialized steering shaft engineered for high-performance racing and custom vehicle applications where compact, flexible steering geometry is critical. This 13-1/2 inch collapsible steering assembly absorbs impact energy during accident scenarios while maintaining precise steering response under normal driving conditions. Built for drivers and fabricators who demand safety-first steering solutions without compromising on feel or control, this universal component fits a wide range of custom and race car platforms.

The shaft features a 3/4-20 spline connection point, allowing secure engagement with compatible steering gearbox and column interfaces common in motorsports applications. Its collapsible design compresses up to 3 inches upon impact, reducing injury risk by dissipating steering column thrust during frontal collisions—a feature mandated by many racing sanctioning bodies and preferred in street rod and custom builds. Constructed from steel with black paint protection, the assembly withstands high-speed cornering loads and thermal cycling while resisting corrosion. The compact 4.05 x 2.05 x 12.25 inch footprint and minimal 1.83 lb weight make it ideal for tight engine bays and weight-sensitive applications.

This collapsible steering assembly is essential for amateur and professional racers building or restoring competition vehicles, as well as custom car enthusiasts installing modern safety features into street rods and hot rods. Installation requires proper alignment with existing steering column bearings and gearbox spline geometry; verification of correct spline orientation (3/4-20) is necessary before final assembly. The universal design accommodates various steering box configurations, making it a versatile upgrade for single-car builders and shop professionals alike.
