Zusammenfassung:A steering shaft assembly including an adapter plate; a steer housing spaced apart from and secured to the adapter plate and including a boss extending toward the adapter plate; a bearing secured within the boss; a steering shaft coupled to the bearing to allow rotation about a steering axis; and one or more friction and/or spring discs positioned about the steering shaft between the shoulder and the bearing, in which the steering shaft includes a shoulder extending outwardly from an outer surface of a main body and positioned between the adapter plate and an upper surface of the boss. The shoulder and the bearing exert a load on the one or more friction and/or spring discs such that the one or more friction and/or spring discs provide a constant steering resistance. The steering shaft assembly may include a spacer that is configured to redirect condensation.
