Now the car is controlled by the steering wheel, which transmits control signals using a loop. Any breakdown of the latter can lead to complete uncontrollability of the vehicle. That is why its condition must be monitored carefully enough.

The fact is that the clockspring is in direct contact with an incredibly important part - the airbag. Because of this, any minor mistake in the installation can lead to big trouble in the event of any, even minor, accident. Also, in modern cars, many systems can be controlled from the steering wheel, such as an air conditioner and an audio system. Just so that the steering wheel can move smoothly and at the same time transmit a lot of signals throughout the car, and you need a clockspring.
