@80stech, when you replaced your clockspring, did you happen to compare both?

I'm wondering, if it were the clockspring, could it be tested by pulling the wheel, removing the clockspring, and manually spinning it left/right (within the range of motion of steering of course)?

@Clavurion @Henn28, had a tech turn the steering with another feeling the joint and no movement according to them.
