Clock Spring - 95

[sperold]

As I resolve my steering wheel wiggle, the clock spring unit will be front and center, so I decided to look-up what is available.
RockAuto has Dorman and a Standard Motor Products unit listed, and I was wondering:
Is this legitimate, can you really buy the correct unit?
The Dorman model is "Chicago" while the SMP is "Atlanta"..... why?
The SMP is over 2 X as much as the Dorman..... any reason for that?

There are different manufacturers for replacement. They are supposed to be non interchangeable but I am not 100%. I had to locate used ones to replace mine this year. Many of those were damaged during removal or installation-- to the point that I had an automotive electronics shop guy get out the huge Mr Magoo magnifying glass and solder one back to *****.

The part, if you remove it, will tell you which is the correct replacement.

I think I could not find a new replacement with the corresponding submodel part number and had to go with used. If you remove the airbag you should be able to look on top or behind the clock spring itself to see the oem part number with the mfg origin designated code. Just be careful to not damage it or damage it any further.
