Thank you for explaining the "2.5 turns" line in the instructions. I ordered a replacement clock spring to install and was unclear about that line until watching your video. Keep up the good work with these informative videos!

[@Truesdale84]

Thanks so much! This was my first solo repair without my dad since I go to college in another city! I have a 1998 4Runner and the repair was identical! I now have use of the horn and cruise control again

I have a 1998 Toyota Avalon. I watched this video and it was 100% perfect, it took me about an hour to complete including gathering tools and cleaning up. The garage quoted $667.00 for parts and labor to replace, I saved $293 with the help of this video. Thank You!!

+Marc Magdits Thank you! We are happy we could assist you.

Gents, thanks for this excellent video. There were 1-2 things I forgot and your vid helped me remember. One pro tip I'd like to add is when removing the airbag/horn captive screws (2), if you press on the airbag/horn it'll align the screw and the hole in a more centered manner. This make it much easier to get those T30 screws out.

I watched this video even though I have to perform the above operation on a 2011 Tacoma. This video is without doubt excellent, the best I have seen on the subject. The back ground noise sucks though.

[@3msushi41]

Great video. Just one note. You explained the 2. 5 rotation on the clock spring to reset it to the center position and that it assuming your front wheels are pointing straight forward. You'll need to make sure your wheels are pointing straight forward before you install the clock spring set at 2.5 rotation. Otherwise the clock spring may not be at the 2.5 rotation when you are driving straight.

[@edwardthayer9386]

He clearly states that interest video.

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for watching, we're glad this this video has helped you out. 1aauto.com

[@jamescc2010]

Excellent with safety tips too. I am little scared to work with an airbag :)

[@mckoylach1622]

Thanks for instructions on how to replace the clock spring. So,how do you know, that the new clock spring is pre set to center ? And do the procedures applied to all makes and models, for this particular work,? Thanks again

[@thomasrodriguez581]

Hey great videos, you guys work on a 2004 maxima a lot i have an 06 and the clockspring went bad is this the same procedure? also same tools needed? thanks

[@1AAuto]

+Thomas Rodriguez It may be a different procedure on your application. We currently do not have an auto repair video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com

[@alexa2551]

Great info!!! Thank u!!! Aloha!!!🤙🏽

[@BK-yu8xh]

The one on my 04 corolla came with a locking pin which made it eaay. Dealer wanted $600 to change it.

[@jomangeee9180]

A great video, is it the same for a subaru outback 2007, and is the clock spring the same as Steering Roll Connector? and do you at A1 auto sell a Steering Roll Connector, thank you

[@1AAuto]

+JO MANGEEE We currently do not carry that particular replacement part. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com

[@utmost-F16]

Can I follow the same instructions on 2002 Camry?

[@Truesdale84]

I accidentally ripped the wires from the electrical connector. The clock spring is fine, but its the electrical connector that goes to it that is useless. Do I simply need to buy a new one and attach the wires to it?

[@dustyrun9663]

Where can I buy the clock spring Camry 98 XLE V6?

[@terenceswitzer5947]

I have a 96 Toyota Camry le .the air bag light on and car has no other dash lights come on and car will not turn over. I check the fuses.does any one think it can be clock thing or something else.did run perfect before .battery new 13.8 volts .need advice thanks for advice

[@SamuraiSmm]

terence switzer take it to a shop and have them read the codes. Or get a BlueDriver and connect it up yourself on your phone (or any OBD2 reader) With no error code it’s a little harder to find the exact culprit.

[@Sades1990]

Can you tell me why some Clock Springs on Amazon are only $20 and Autozone has them for $300. Im confused.

[@1AAuto]

+Julie Kay We wouldn't have any info about parts other retailers are carrying. The parts we carry are guaranteed to fit and function on the vehicles they are listed for. Thanks! 1AAuto.com

[@Sades1990]

1A Auto Parts So you don’t know how much a Clock Spring should cost or an opinion on why Amazon’s are so cheap.
