Hello Chris,

I have experienced this exact set of symptoms on a customers car and we (the customer and me) decided to let it go for now.

And that is because new lock assemblies have been long NLA, so only good used ones are available.


You can remove the lock assembly from the adapter by removing the set screw and use the whole lock assembly without pulling the steering column support bracket from your car.

I wouldn't try to swap tumblers as I can almost guarantee that the tumbler will fall apart, especially if the center section has a crack(s).
