Dorman 83280 Ignition Actuator - With Tilt Wheel Compatible with Select Ford Models

I chose this Dormant part to save money because there were few options for a good replacement part at a reasonable price. It turns out that I made up for the time and labor difference by trying to get it to fit and function properly in my steering column. To remove casting marks and allow it to slide into the machined grooves without binding, I had to sand and grind some areas. It's still less expensive than any other option I found, but you'll have to make some changes.

Part is still made of pot aluminum and is brittle. If this part had a gusset in the spot where it breaks and was made of billet aluminum, it would almost certainly never break again. It works, but I doubt it will last long, especially if your ignition is difficult to start.

If you're anything like me, you'll be using a lot. It's quite effective. If you've found a video you want to install, consider finishing it off with a file. It was only because of that one tip that I was able to get it installed. Like oem, it's made of a pot metal type of material. If you're like me and keep a lot of keys on one keychain, you'll notice that this is what causes the piece to break. After so many years of use, the soft, low-cost metal can no longer support the weight.

It's a pain in the A to replace them when they break, but that's how secure things are supposed to be.

I ordered this without realizing I wouldn't need it on my truck because it didn't have a tilt wheel. my fault.

Fit ok. There is a lack of illumination. I'm going to see how long it lasts, and if it does, I'm going to buy it.

Much less expensive than the original, and it works just as well.

Prior to putting it in, I filed down the sharp edges.
