Steering column question ?

Repairing older vehicle parts is usually a waste of money.

There are many good used parts at the scrap yard for pennies on

the dollar for new.

If this is a showcar then by all means buy only the best!

There are specialty businesses that do only these repairs.

I had an Olds with tilt steering acting up and finally went for the

$ 75.00 repair..( Well worth the money ). In your case it's a bit more

involved but think about the money and the convenience of having

the right key and the OEM steering unit. Keep it stock !

Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Don't bother trying to rebuild that, find one out of a salvaged car that you can replace. the turn signal switches go bad in them all the time that you could replace in one that is in good condition.

Even a average do it yourself would have a hard time rebuilding a steering column. I might take something out of a newer year model that would work and move the shifter to the floor.

I'd try to replace it but use the original cylinder in it and it takes a few hrs but if you've the right info it's not that hard of a job.There are some speciality shops that could do that job pretty easily but then you could safe bucks by doing it yourself too bud.

Hope that helps and best of luck Jeff.

better 2 keep your car original and have the column fixed or get 1 from a scrap yard . get a book from the library and follow the instructions on how 2 remove and install the column. make sure all the wires are connected. good luck. mike
