I admit that I haven't taken the assembly apart. I have only looked and saved the PDF that shows how to eliminate the parts involved. Thanks..
There are posts in this thread that mention the fact that the steering lock is not affected.
I have done the mod and I can assure you that the steering lock is not affected.
I have seen no explanation for the problem and it is not worth pursuing.
The later parts came without these two pieces and work just fine from day one, over engineered is the probable reason for their presence.
