Spring popped out of steering column
I was doing this
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/susp...-steering.html
https://www.thirdgen.org/steeringcolumn
I got the four bolts tightened, put the pins back in, put the plastic cover back on, realized I forgot the big spring and retainer, pulled the plastic cover back off and this spring fell out.

I think I understand how it clips onto whatever it clips onto but I cannot find where it goes.
Where does it go?

Re: Spring popped out of steering column
Is this it?

If so, is that the way the spring goes on?
Never mind, you must have been adding pics as I was typing. Or I'm smoking something and the pics were there and I didn't see them.
Awesome, it's easy, then.
