Replacing the Ignition Lock Cylinder

My concern is that you may have a steering column issue. The spring tension typically is not in the key cylinder itself. I'm not entirely sure on this vehicle, but that's what I have seen in others.

It's hard to explain without illustrations Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
