Default Clock Spring...

A few months ago my wifes steering box broke at the pitman arm. Long story and I believe I posted most of it up here anyway.

I dont think we got the wheel properly centered and when ever you turn to the left you can hear what I assume to be the clock spring starting to skweek... I was home this weekend and figured it would be easy to fix, just spin the steering wheel one full turn to the right and no more issue. Did, and no issue on the test drive.

Now its doing it again, anyone messed with the clock spring, replaced the clock spring or any such animal? Need to get the part ordered so I can fix it in 3 weeks...
