finally got around to searching for and replacing for my clocking spring. i went through like 6 xj steering columns today at chuck and eddies smashing them with hammers with galica and found a suitable assembly finally. then it doesn't fit over my steering column shaft so i have to take apart my old assembly and new one and interchange parts. i'm pretty much an expert with clocking springs now so if anyone ever needs help HMU!
after a full day of bullshit i connected the battery and slammed the steering wheel and BAM! horn is back and the airbag light is off!
on another note the guys at executive jeep are dicks. when i called the parts guy there to ask what the part number is on the assembly he replied, "You want me to tell you the part number so you can go and buy it from somebody else?" I replied, "........no......well, yeah i mean, yeah. just tell me the part number, I'm not gonna buy your $270 part when there are 100s in junkyards." He wouldn't give me it. I bought their fucking car and they won't tell me the part numbers. i think that is just outrageous. I called two different dealers and the other was incapable to informing me that the part numbers from an xj one and a tj one are the same. "It's unsafe to use parts from different cars on your car." I wanted to bitchslap this asshole through the phone for how insulting a shot at my intelligence that is. assuming i'm stupid to sell me overpriced shit. meanwhile i'm sitting in a jeep wrangler, with a ford rear axle, a cherokee front axle, some random tube for steering, and a steering box from a durango. all our jeeps are mutts if there ever were some and we are still all very much alive.
