2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Help--Can't find a clock spring for my '97

[Warhorse]

I've searched Napa, ebay, pep boys, O'Reilly's, etc with no luck. Clock springs appear to be available for '98 and up, but not for '97. Does anyone have another suggestion?

Thanks

Paul

I looked at all my usual spots, and they were all out of stock. If found this one on ebay. Says it's for 97-01 with cruise.

I saw that too, but at the top of the page it says "Listing was ended by the seller, because it is no longer available. "

Dorman Products - Clock Springs Looks like Dorman missed you by one year.

is it broken? I took my '98 apart and the only thing wrong with it the factory grease at the contact pickup had gotten hard and gummy... cleaned it all up added some wd-40 and I was back working fine, they are very simplistic inside them, ribbon tape and couple brass contact points. I have pictures of mine apart if it helps

Wow! Those carquest prices for a spring are very high. That much money should buy a new set of front coil springs.

My 2000 Dakota has had three clock springs replaced because of a recall. And the last one still makes a bit a scraping sound sometimes when you turn the wheel. Chrysler should be held accountable for the **** poor design, and should provide free replacement for the lifetime of the vehicle.
