Hey guys, doing the front joint finally, still got plenty of grease, but the boot was ripped a bit so im just replacing the whole thing....but i cant seem to fin the clip to get the dang head off the shaft...tips?
Nvm found it under the grease
Finally got the steering column replaced and right as i pull out of the driveway, the clockspring makes a grinding sound when I turn the wheel and boom, no more worky. I assume the column I got was from a crash where the airbag goes off, which destroys the clockspring.
Do I replace it right...
I just replaced my steering column and now I'm getting that light. I think either some connector is mussed or the clock spring in my replacement column is messed up. bah. Will the car pass inspection if the light is on?
Note: you don't have to remove the steering wheel, to replace the steering column. Also, there is a bolt at the linkage that you prolly shouldn't forget about. Libby is fixed! woot! Thanks for all the help guys!
Does anyone know if i have to have to remove the steering wheel bolt to get the column out? i have all the bolts undone but i cant seem to pull it from the linkage
Some of you remember my issues a bit ago, well I need to replace the steering column, and I plan to do it this week. I have the whole replacement column, steering wheel and all...Only issue is that I don't have a steering wheel puller...am I able to replace the whole column without removing the...
Got the part in, but going to mexico on saturday so I don't want to mess with it yet. Today it started giving me a P0441 code now...when one thing goes i guess....so annoying.
If i was paying more attention thankfully you would of derailed me, but unfortunately the self conversation continued for quite a while offline while i worked lol.
now im debating if i should try and fix it(bondo+duct tape?), rig up a custom ignition solution( mount the ignition switch backwards and create a "key" for it out of wood or something), or just replace the steering column....
was able to just stick a screwdriver into the ignition switch, and turn the car on :-) it will work for now till i get the replacement column, then i'll just swap it out.
Found a company online that has a good replacement for 200 bucks, going to order it, and somehow get my car back from the shop and replace it myself. not paying them $1000 bucks to replace my steering column
OK the guy says it's a pin that connects the cylander lock to the electrics has broken and the only way to fix it is to replace the steering column, $710 bucks. i think he's off his ******* rocker. looking at my manual now to see if i can find the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
I installed my new part, to no avail. Biting the bullet and tow truck is on it's way to take me heep across the street so they can solve the issue for me...I hate going to mechanics...never actually had to, always was able to do the repairs myself. Oh well.
