What It Controls & Why Replace With Original?

The clock spring (or squib) maintains a constant electrical connection between the stationary steering column and the rotating steering wheel, allowing the driver's airbag, horn, and steering controls to function safely.

Cheap aftermarket squibs frequently suffer from poor quality ribbon cables that snap prematurely. Choosing a certified original Ford factory component guarantees electrical continuity and crucial airbag deployment safety.
