just a pointer here but if anyone else is changing this actuator and you have tilt wheel, then i really advice you to clean all the old caked up grease out of the slides and in the part that holds your key switch and regrease it real good, i used lithium on mine, and also before you tear your colum apart check to see if you have any play in your steering colum around where the tilt is, if you can move your steering wheel up and down or back and forth then while you have your colum tore down, retighten the screws in your colum you cant miss them once you get it all apart,

just my 2cents worth
