I tried getting one several years ago, salvage yards wouldn't sell me one or couldn't find one. Dealer 4 years ago wanted $483. so needless to say it has not been replaced to this day. Downside is no cruise control and no horn on the wheel. If you do find a supplier that sells them cheaper than $483. let me know, I might ponder the thought of replacing the broken one.

Is this for the airbag? If so rock auto has it for 243 plus shipping, which is still quite a bit. Amazon had one cheap www.amazon.com/07-12-Jeep-Wrangler-Clockspring-MOPAR/dp/B0074JO6CI

But both are online not local dealers.

Thats what I get by going with the title only lol. RockAuto would be specifically for the 08 (You pick the vehicle year).

Here is what I found on RockAuto

If you confirm the part number is the same then you should be all set. I have ordered from them a few times and it was pretty quick shipping and everything was as stated.

I had a problem with the clockspring on my TJ, couldn't even order one as Chrysler has about 150 on back order. So, I took it apart to see if there was anything obvious I could fix, maybe solder. Could not find anything wrong at all, continuity was good. So, I cleaned it up, lubricated it with white lithium grease, and put it back together. Works fine, no problems. I have no idea what was wrong. That was well over two years ago.

So, at this point, if your clockspring is not working, then you have nothing to lose by taking it apart to inspect it. Might find something simple wrong with it. Just disconnect the battery first so there is no way to set off the airbag.

P.S. The problem with my clockspring was related to the Throttle position sensor. Since they share a common power circuit in the computer, when the clockspring screwed up, it messed up the voltage to the TPS and the jeep ran like crap, and it tripped a code for a TPS. When I unplugged the clockspring, the TPS code went away and jeep worked normal. It must be a jeep thing.

And this is why the message board is better than fb.

Agreed, but also keeping in mind the FB page is how many "newer folks" are able to locate this forum. Yes, lots of great info found here that is not found on the FB page.
