I hope the steering lock issue would not happen again.
Rev D is still prone to failure. They removed the lock entirely on 2012+ model years - that's why you don't hear about failures much anymore. Pull the fuse or cut the wire or be prepared to deal with it again in the future

He told me that all year models of 370Zs have the steering lock module installed, but it seems like he was false if your comment is true.

I really hope the issue happens again, but personally I don't want to touch my car because I worry about how if I mess it up.

Thanks for the info.

Put on new differential bushing today. Wow, it made a huge difference. While it was definitely not easy, it was well worth it.

Nope they definitely stopped at some point thougnim not sure the specific year. Mine doesn't have the lock at all. Instead of directly fixing the problem they just removed the issue.

Believe it's about half way through the 2011 model year they stopped installing the damn lock.
