Im trying to repair the steering column in my 1968 Cadillac
DeVille.Im having problems with the turn switch indictator.
The lever is sloppy, Ive changed the signal cam but I have
these two small strips of light gauge steel and cant
remmeber where they go. (had to leave the job for a couple
of days). My manual dose not show these two peices.
Is there any info out that will help with the repair.

Thanks
jeff
P.S. this is a telescope/tilt column

Those sound like what is the return spring for the lever. Im going from memory here, but Im thinking they go under the cam, vertically in a slot. They are held in the middle and the ends are free. The bottom of the springs return the lever from a left turn, and the top end returns it from a right turn.

You changed just the return cam on the turn signal switch? I would like to hear how that works out for you when you get the springs back in place.
