Default Where to buy Clockspring?

i am looking at a 91 Lx, but it needs a new clockspring for the airbag. According to others this is required to for the airbag to activate. Where can I find one? thanks, billy

i got one, black, 30 bucks shipped, thats all i payed for it, 100 seems really high. you take four screws out from behind the steering wheel, the center slides out, you unplug it, plug the new one back in and screw back together. did the airbag go off, you might need a new sensor also.

Just unplug the battery. A airbag will not go off with out a 12volt charge.

Replace the steering wheel, unless you just want to have an air bag.
