2003 ford expodition steering wheel is hard to turn.
I may have answered my own question. 1995 Caravan airbags, electrical system and clock-springs were the subject of a Chrysler / Dodge Caravan recall in the mid-to-late 1990's. We were fortunate enough to enter our 1995 Caravan VIN at the national recall website and find out that indeed, ours is part of that recall. Chrysler and our trusted dealer will be handling our needs and the recall. It appears that those recall "sensitive" parts will be hard to locate, presumably more for safety reasons.
