Scott S asked:


I wasn’t sure how to add to my previous question or if I even could, so I started another one. I found the broken piece in my ignition assembly. It’s the C shaped piece that attaches to the lock cylinder rack and the actuator rod for the ignition switch. The rod that comes off the back of the piece to stabilize it and keep it from twisting under pressure has snapped off…. I got the piece out and would like to know if anyone knows what this piece is called so I can ask for it at the auto parts store, or where I should try to go to find one. Already called the local junkyard and they don’t have one.
