Jeep JKU Clock Spring Replacement

I was having some issues with my traction control light coming on while driving. My steering wheel was straight and my wheel speed sensors checked out so it left one thing, my clock spring. This is a common part that needs replaced every few years when you offload your Jeep. Im not sure if it has to do with dirt or if they simply just wear out.

Locktite is a blessing and a cure. Glad it helped!

Thanks Jessie, tackled this today with your help! Made the same mistakes jumping ahead of you but caught it when finished watching the process! Good video look forward to more content

I watch your videos so the theory only men watch your videos is thrown out lol. I am not looking forward on replacing this. I lost the use of all my steering controls (excluding the cruise control buttons) and the horn. I have been told that it is the cork spring. Thanks for the video.

[@krawlerkingdom]

Thank you for watching! It feels intimidating the first time but don’t get discouraged. I’m sure you will do awesome!

I'm tight with you. Need to replace my wifes clock spring. Just did all the wheel speed sensors yesterday (what mad man thought up those placements) and found this vid. I think I need some torx drivers before I get into it. I'll get some tomorrow. Since my durangon is down, this is our only driver so I have tonplan ripping into it.

@Winterw0lf it’ll take a couple hours but easily doable in an afternoon if you unplug you battery early

Great video Jessie. Just put in my new clockspring but now my traction control light won’t turn off. Any suggestions on what to do?

[@krawlerkingdom]

That would be steering wheel alignment likely. It’s reading your wheels straight and steering wheel turned. Adjusting the drag link cures that as long as you didn’t spin the steering with the wheel removed

[@jayvee962]

@@krawlerkingdom once I adjust my drag link, won’t that make my steering wheel look slanted since it’s already straight?

[@krawlerkingdom]

@jayvee962 if it’s straight then you either bought a faulty clock spring or maybe it’s another issue like a wheel speed sensor

Thank you for the video, it helped out a lot

Great step by step. Replacing our 2013’s clock spring took care of the intermittent airbag light.

Awesome video

Great video! Helped me out alot!!!! 😎👍

[@krawlerkingdom]

Way to get it done! Glad the video helped

I have a 2014, would this mess with tach not reading speed and not switching gears? Abs and traction light has been on for a couple of months, but when i checked back then, all speed sensors were working. It only has 85k miles. I'm hoping its not the trans

[@garyvandeputte9590]

How did you test the wheel sensors.

[@krawlerkingdom]

@@garyvandeputte9590 I checked the resistance. I have a brand new set and the installed ones showed the same resistance.

[@globalman2]

did u get a clock spring W angle sensor or without ?

[@krawlerkingdom]

Whatever part number that was on the box. Just a Crown version of the Mopar OEM part

[@user-ev2yh2rr2i]

How is that Crown part holding out?

[@krawlerkingdom]

@@user-ev2yh2rr2i so far so good! I have had zero issues

[@JT_Bussell]

I so need to change mine out.. I have the actual ribbon from the clock spring hanging out from my steering wheel 😂😂

[@krawlerkingdom]

Now that’s getting the full use of a part 🤣

[@krawlerkingdom]

It wouldn’t be the trans issues. That’s likely your valve body

you're my fav!
