Centering CLOCKSPRING

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Damage to clockspring is possible. Air bag malfunction may result. Ensure front wheels are in straight-ahead position and clockspring is centered.

Turn clockspring fully clockwise, then turn counterclockwise approximately 3 turns to align mating marks. See Fig 1. Clockspring is now centered.
