The Datsun 1200 uses a tradition recirculating-ball Steering Gearbox with behind-the axle Steering Linkage. USA models used a Collapsible Steering Column to meet FMVSS standards, while most other countries got a rigid Steering Column.

The bushing at the Steering wheel end of the column is the part most likely to go bad. It causes a squeak, squeak sound when you move teh steering wheel slightly.
