    What needs to be lined up during airbag wheel (re)installation?

    I am putting my steering wheel back on after some dash work, cruise retrofit etc. I've done it before but this time, the wheel is getting hung up with about 1/2 inch to go. What should I be looking for? Steering lock is disengaged.

      I'm not sure what I changed but I think it moved in more. Does this gap look correct?



      Does the clock spring need to be in any particular orientation?

        You should center the clockspring before installing the wheel. If you don't, one day your horn and airbag will likely stop working.
