Not to hijack the thread, just had a related question--my steering column had been messed with when I got the car. The turn signal cancellation was removed and the bushing was a bit crumbled.

I replaced my bushing with a rennline one, but I have not been able to figure out what the snap ring is for. Mine fits loosely on the groove, and removiing it or leaving it makes no difference. My steering wheel does make a friction sounding as something is rubbing so I was wondering what the purpose of that snap ring was.

Thanks!
