Crossfire SRT-6 V6-3.2L SC VIN N (2005)
Like the clockspring in a timepiece, the clockspring tape has travel limits and can be damaged by being wound too tightly during full stop-to-stop
steering wheel rotation. To prevent this from occurring, the clockspring is centered when it is installed on the steering column. Centering the clockspring
indexes the clockspring tape to the movable steering components so that the tape can operate within its designed travel limits. However, if the
clockspring is removed from the steering column or if the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering gear, the clockspring spool can change position
relative to the movable steering components and must be re-centered following completion of the service or the tape may be damaged.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped precentered and with a locking pin installed. This locking pin should not be removed until the clockspring
has been installed on the steering column. If the locking pin is removed before the clockspring is installed on a steering column, the clockspring
centering procedure must be performed.
