For all you clock spring experts. From what I have read all the clock spring does is provided electricity to the air bag. Is this true? Took mine out and feels like I lost mpgs or maybe it's all in my mind.

 

Horn won't work, and if you have cruise on the steering wheel, that won't work either. Also your blinkers won't auto-cancel. Think that's about it.

 

ok I don't need any of that anyways thanks

 

Hopefully you won't need your airbag either but good luck if you do

 

What does blinkers auto-cancel have to do with the clockspring.

 

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.....

 

If I put two clock springs in will I get more mpgs ?

 

 

I'm putting quick disconnect steering wheel in so no I don't need the airbag

 

:thud:

 

My clock spring broke in my 00 XJ, and that was something I experienced, along with the other things mentioned. When I replaced the clock spring, that issue went away. I guess it could have been coincidence

 

They have to be properly aligned, kinda like fuel line magnets.

 

Don't knock the benefits of fuel line magnets...................


If you don't polar-align your fuel, you lose approx. .000000000674234 mpg!
(or about 0.00004271946624 inches per gallon)
The 4.0 is finicky like that................
On the early ones it gets recycled back to the tank though, so you don't really lose it.................

 

Why?

 

because I'm building it into a buggy and why would I want airbags in a buggy or juggy if you wanna get technical
