Default CLB is on!!! WHEW!!!
After reading SOOOOOOOO many posts about column locks lately, I finally orderd mine and put it on today. VERY easy install, no more worries.
Ironically 2 hours after I finished a friend callled and his had locked. I told him to shake the wheel and thankfully it disengaged. I KNOW he will be ordering his tonight.

Later!

I don't know why, but it took me a few months to get around to installing mine after I received it!! For anyone who is who is worried about the install, do it, it's easy. You will feel better.
