I was hearing a noise in the passenger rear wheel and getting a wheel sensor error code after my last GOAT trip with John. When I took the wheel, caliper, and rotor off, I these parts rolling around in there. At some point the parking brake adjuster spring had come loose. It was replaced, but apparently the original one was still bouncing around inside the rotor. It eventually took out the new adjuster spring, one of the parking brake springs, and the wheel speed sensor as well. Good news, it was a cheap, east fix, and I already had all the parts.
I was also getting a cruise control error that suggested my clock spring might be bad… The error codes and suspicions we confirmed when I removed the steering wheel (lower left pic) and the clock spring fell apart in a mess of plastic parts and cables (center pic), lol!
To get it apart, I had to grind down one of the spare extensions for my impact driver to get it deep enough into the holes in the steering wheel trim (top right pic).
You better believe I was treating the airbag removal like a ticking bomb… I had just finished removing it in the lower right pic.
It’s always something, but the good news is I got it all back in working order and got my cruise control back just in time for my Windrock trip a few days later just before July 4th week.
