Well that blows!
I have one truck I put Moroso ceramic seal in 6 years ago and it's still truckin along. It's worth a shot, I thought it would not last but it has.

It is good for a buyer but not so good for a seller of a vehicle

Ouch! You mean I could sell you a truck for $200 and eat this repair bill?
Thank gawd we have a sales claus called AS IS! Non dealer and dealer 3K or less and it's all yours.

if it is the early column the rod will be directly on top of the column going to the ignition switch. you will have to be a little flexable to see it!!
