Not sure where else to post this, feel free to move.
For years my steering column has been collapsing at the 7 o'clock position. I've always read that it was loose tilt bolts within the column but that it wasn't a safety issue. I finally had a shop (formerly a dealer) inspect and tighten the tilt bolts but they told me they were barely loose... that the column is loose at the joint. This is my only vehicle so I would prefer minimal down time. I've located a new OEM column at my cost of $1000. Else I might be able to pickup a used one locally but would be leery of it's quality and would need to locate a local rebuilder. It's more a annoyance than anything, but if I consider the price reasonable I'd like to take care of it. |

Hey Chris,
Maybe the turn signal cam/canceler, but you can usually feel if that's starting to go south before you tear into the column. I can't think of anything else you'll need to replace. HTH, Jason |
