broke the clockspring in my chaser...where to get a new one?

[Tha_INS]

replaced the bus steering wheel in my chaser with an altezza 3 spoke one. failed to read instructions about re assembly written on the clock spring itself. After re assembling i couldnt get full, lock turning left so I forced it and felt something snap.

Searching the web i found out that i probably broken the ribbon cable inside the clockspring.

Know where to get one? Anyone ever fixed one?

[matt dunn]

Not repairable and probably $500 + from toyota.

We have done heaps at work on toyota's, but not a chaser specifically.

Maybe try wreckers for a S/H one?

[Tha_INS]

yeah north shore toyota quoted me $300 excl GST....will goto wreckers and see if they have

[Bling]

Try the sponsors section on here. Unless that was a good deal from Toyota.

[rollaholic]

thats a mistake you only make once

[Tha_INS]

yeah man tell me about it have only replaced steerings wheels on older cars without airbags so this is my first time doing it on an airbag one...

apparently they retail in NZ for nearly $1k so yeah $300 was the best deal they could do for a new one

[strx7]

[Tha_INS]

jzx100

Clock spring ribbon is a universal Toyota part

Can you solder ?? is a easy fix depending were its has pulled the contacts out

Take the cover off solder contacts back in place save $300

Yeah I can solder but not the best at it, may give it a crack anyway since its broken.

Gave Taranaki partsworld a call they had one in a jzx100 but werent sure if it was still working. Said they would call me back I have left a number but still nothing

i've also been wondering if clocksprings from other toyota cars would fit?

say a camry, cause my mum has a camry with exactly the same stock steering wheel

Use toyodiy
find the part number for it,
then reverse search by part number for all the cars it fits.

shot matt you are the man.....turns out kzn185 surf uses the same one and someone on TM has one for sale....score $45

[Tha_INS]

turns out the kzn185 one is a slightly diff part number (1 digit) off. But it still works all the connectors are in the same location. Thanks toyspeed, I love toyotas so much interchangeability
