Shop Discount Steering Columns

My 2009 chevy hhr 2.2 liter. steering wheel slid into dash after minor crash and air bag exploded. My bright switch is on the steering column which is stuck on which drains my battery after i park, how do I pull it back out to the normal position?

Wow, if the steering wheel dropped down like that, that probable means the steering column collapsed. Once they collapse like that you have to replace the entire steering column.

Driver Safety

The steering wheel and column has safety features to protect the driver. The following components may be mounted on or near the steering column:Energy-Absorbing Steering Column - The energy-absorbing steering column compresses in the event of a front-end collision, which reduces the chance of injury to the driver. The energy-absorbing feature, collapsible steering shaft, and break away mounting features help reduce the injury in the event of an accident. In addition to these features, the following driver safety features may be on the steering column.

Squeak in steering column when the steering wheel is turned.

I show a couple TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) addressing steering column squeak concerns.

May want to take it in to a qualified shop or the Dealer to have it inspected

Thanks for your help.

I am trying to replace the steering column switch in my 1982 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. I have removed the Steering wheel and the ignition switch but i still can't get to it PLEASE help!

There's a tool that holds the locking wheel down such that you can remove a wire snap ring then it will allow you further down to a small bolt or something that holds the body of the lock cylinder itself.

That ring is tricky but will come out with two flat head screwdrivers - snap ring pliers aren't so helpful as it is withOUT eylelets,





Shown in that snap ring the the tool threads onto spindle bolt and little nut pushes it down. Common tool - cheap or rentable,

Thank you but i already have the lock ring off file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/My%20Scans/scan0001.jpgthis is the actual piece i have to replace
it goes inside the column behind the ignition switch housing i belive it locks the shifter in place but i can't get to it I need to know how to remove the blue ignition housing the piece right behind the steering wheel that holds the ignition switch.

That's all I could find out there - it doesn't have the shifter in this.......

When turning left/right there is a thumping noise in the steering column. After the thump the car pulls in the direction that I was turning.

Thanks Tom
