I know one solution it to not let the steering wheel lock, but I am too tall for that to be an esay accomplishment when getting out of the car. Any ideas on how to fix it? There are 10 W126s in pretty much any junkyard you visit in this area so extra used parts are not a problem, the less new (expensive) stuff I have to buy the happier I would be though.
