a clockspring is the spring that winds the clock for the v6 vehicles... its an analog clock...

No really, it's a ping in the steering column (under the airbag in the steering wheel actually) that will set off the airbag. It can get damaged or broken if you turn the steering too far to one side or the other while the rack and pinion assy is disconnected, or if you fiddle with it and are not sure of what you're doing...

As for "will it fit"... I am not sure, but will say probably.
Go for it, if it does, great. If it doesn't, then sell it on ebay.
Are you sure the clockspring is bad or is your airbag light just flashing/on and you think it may be it?

(I actually know something that markwondi doesn't?... or was he just testing me?... oh the mind games!...)

No, I was dead serious, I had no clue what a "clockspring" was
