ok so now that i've got my flex-plate and flywheel all fixed up i need to fix my steering column. when i was doing the compression test on my truck the steering wheel got spun around and i'm pretty sure it broke the clock spring. the air bag light is on and i don't have any steering wheel controls.

does anyone have any info on how to replace this and a part number for it. any help would be greatly appreciated. :angel:
