78 of the puller 66 in response to the signal the actuator 78 is energized to move the connector 70 to the retracted position and disconnect the tie joint 48 50 of the tie rod 14 16 from the steering joint 60 of the steering arm 58 at least one sensor 82 may be disposed in the vehicle the sensor 82 which is operatively connected to the controller 80 is for sensing a moment of the vehicle about the longitudinal axis 36 as the vehicle is driving along the longitudinal axis 36 as the vehicle is driving along the longitudinal axis 36 the vehicle may experience an event that results in a moment about the longitudinal axis 36 the sensor 82 communicates the moment of the vehicle about the longitudinal axis 36 to the controller 80 the controller 80 determines a direction of the moment of the vehicle about the longitudinal axis 36 as being either a first direction 34 of the moment i e toward the left of the vehicle or a second direction 38 of the moment of inertia i e toward the right of the vehicle opposite the first direction 34 of the moment of inertia when the controller 80 determines from the sensor 82 that the direction of the moment.
