Used steering wheel tension spring used in the tilt / tilt away steering column found in the Mercury Cougar or Ford Mustang. One required per car. Keeps tension on the steering wheel shaft so as to keep the steering wheel from contacting the upper column cover.
There is an active thread on the Classic Cougar Community Forum discussing tilt columns and trouble shooting.
