Steering

Delphi Rake (Height-adjustable) and Telescope Column

The Delphi Rake and Telescope Column combines height-adjustment and telescoping options, allowing the driver to select a preferred steering wheel position in two planes. A single column-mounted lever is used to adjust the column height and steering wheel location along the column axis. Re-engaging the lever locks the column and steering wheel in the desired position. This column can incorporate all of the design options and features that Delphi provides on standard fixed-position columns.
