DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

Roadkill · 10-12-2012, 09:08 AM

A couple of months ago I traded for a 2010 Touring Roadster with 32k miles. I've been following on the steering lock threads (getting nervous) and now have only a few miles left on the warrenty. I don't know the original owner or I would ask them. It has a build date of 11/09, but I've looked at the lock and it's Rev C. I'm not sure, but it may have been replaced already. Also, when I power the car on I don't hear the lock mechanism lock or unlock and even when off, the steering wheel will moves freely side to side. I'm just wondering if someone pulled the fuse already. As I remember drom the 350Z's, when the steering wheel locked, it didn't budge. Not sure about this one though. Thanks in advance.
