Title: Steering column parts Post by: dguy on August 22, 2004, 09:09:37 am Is it possible to purchase individual components of a steering column from either GM or a rebuilder, or are they only ever sold as a unit?
The piece which links the ignition lock cylinder to the rod which actuates the ignition switch has failed. I had a spare column which is now in the car, but I'm trying to determine whether it's possible to fix the broken one or not.

Apparently it's a "special order" piece. So no only is there a 10% "handling" charge added to the normal retail price, but the supplier they use won't ship on any order under $150. ::) Title: Re: Steering column parts Post by: GoFast88 on September 02, 2004, 12:12:24 pm ...and buyer beware, if you ever need one of these things don't bother trying to order it through CTC (even though they stock many other Motormite parts).

No handling fee was mentioned by anyone at the parts counter, but I was pleasantly informed about it when I reached the cash register. |
