{"product_id":"wod-universal-tilt-steering-column","title":"WOD Universal Tilt Steering Column","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Wide Open Design Universal Tilt Steering Column was developed for custom off-road vehicles, rock crawlers, buggies, race chassis, UTV-style builds, and other applications where steering position, strength, and serviceability matter. This column is built as a universal weld-in steering solution that allows the installer to set the steering wheel angle, column length, and in\/out placement around the vehicle, driver position, dash layout, seat location, and steering system being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe steering column can be used as a standalone universal tilt steering column or paired with the included and easily mounted orbital valve mount for full hydraulic steering. The column tube can be shortened if needed, and the side tabs are unwelded to be fitted to the specific vehicle. Bronze bushings reduce long-term wear, while the adjustable gas shock clamp allows the tilt and feel to be dialed in for the final driving position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
