I dont know. I guess when I had the steering shaft loose to lube it, the wheel must have moved 180 degrees and after it was put back together I turned it to the left and something poped in the wheel. Now my air bag light is on in the dash and there is something rattiling around in the coloumn .

hey Argon, do you know where I could get the airbag coil and how much it is? Is this something I could do myself or do i need to take it to the dealer?
