Checkin' in / Sayin' "Hi"
I thought they were made in the USA I didn't check my spindles to see where made my friend retired was a engineer who bought spected out parts from china he would get his parts made in china he checked the parts and they weren't to his spect he called and talked to the company about the problem they told him the parts were GOOD ENOUGH he told them he needed the parts with tolerances on the spec they said 6 months to ship the make & ship the parts so he used the parts cause he was running out of the parts so maybe my spindle parts were GOOD ENOUGH

smoke coming from dash
i'm no mechanic but the book say's remove negitive terminals on batteries first (air bags won't go off accidently) while working it looks like its a component which includes your turn signal lever ps book say'syou need a tamper proof torx bit that secure the screws for holding multifunction switch to the steering column
