I'm in the process of reassembling my steering column, and I've got two spring washers. I know where one goes at the top of the column, but I can't figure out the other one. And I don't see either one on the parts diagram. I wasn't really expecting either one when I took it apart, so they both fell out before I realized what they were or where they came from. Based on the creative turn signal switch wiring and a couple of other things, I'm sure this column has been apart before, so it could be that it's an extra that was installed someplace it shouldn't have been and I should just leave it alone, but I wanted to run it by some more experienced minds first. Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Spring Washers
That's sorta what I thought; I appreciate the confirmation. Unless someone else chimes in with a better idea, I'm just going to leave one out.
I do wonder where the second one was. My guess is that the last person who put this column together doubled up where there is only supposed to be one; I can't imagine where else it would have been.
