CLOCKSPRING Centering

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Dodge Intrepid, 2000 Chrysler LHS, 2000 Chrysler Intrepid, 2000 Chrysler Concorde, and 2000 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If the clockspring is not known to be properly positioned, front wheels were moved with the steering wheel off or steering wheel was moved from the half turn (180 degrees) to right (clockwise) position, use the following procedure to center clockspring
  1. Remove steering wheel. See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE & STEERING WHEEL  . With steering wheel removed, depress plastic locking pin to disengage clockspring locking mechanism. Keeping locking mechanism disengaged, rotate the clockspring rotor until a yellow dot appears in centering window and black arrow lines up with drive pin.
  2. Reinstall steering wheel upside down with wheels turned 180 degrees clockwise. Tighten steering wheel nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . DO NOT connect battery at this time. Go to AIR BAG SYSTEM CHECK  under SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.
