Key won't turn to unlock steering column. Is this a repair for auto shop or is it possible to remove lock without damage to airbag system. Thanks for any suggestions.

« The ign key cyl is bad, yes you can remove and replace it easy but it has to be recoded, so normally you would have to take it to the dealer or a lock smith Glenn Beasley Chrysler tech »

I get a knocking/heavy rattling sound from the front wheel area when I drive over ruts in the road. On smooth roads no problem, no noises. Everything seems tight when I crawl underneath and check it out. any ideas? Tom
