When I was swapping steering wheels in my GS back in the day, I found that you can swap the explosive unit around. RX, ES, GS was what I used. Not sure if it could work for the LS

i'm going to follow the thread. interested in the end product. i was looking for a replacement steering wheel for my new to me hand me down, lol. so hard to find a replacement wheel to match my interior. taking the air bag off wasn't hard. i had to replace the clockspring in order to get the horn & steering wheel controls to work again. i've replaced the clock spring on my old jeep twice and replaced the steering wheel on my old yukon denali once.

on a side note, there were no LS430's that came with a 3 spoke steering wheel, right? when searching on ebay a couple 3 spoke wheels keep coming up. the auction title says it's for an LS430, but i didn't think these cars came with 3 spoke wheels.

What year is ur LS and how much did you pay for the clockspring? I've gotta replace mine on the 2002 the price is outrageous +$300 wish they were as cheap as Jeep parts
