I have cleaned it all out but am still getting some grinding noise from the clockspring. I expect that I will need to replace it. There are 2 parts on EPC and I am not sure which one to get. I will likely need to pull it apart again to get a look at it but was thinking there may be someone that has replaced it before. Here is the screen shot from EPC, the two parts are about $100 each wholesale. (steering.jpg) Attachments ---------------- steering.jpg (174KB - 0 downloads) | ||

Just go to a wrecking yard and get a steering wheel from one of these cars, and you can retrofit the part. It's discussed at a lot of points on my forum (http://www.500eboard.com/forums), and you should also check out the site www.2phast.com Rik runs that site and there is a lot of detail about steering wheel retrofits and HOW-TO illustrations. Not a difficult task. | ||

I got it in today and installed it. Figured it was time to swap in that used "G" airbag cover I picked up as well. So nice and quiet now without that constant grinding, plus I can hook the horn back up now. I do need to still fix the LCD that started to fade around new year's.
