While I was changing out my cats to HFCS, I'm pretty sure half of the ring on the steering column bar snapped off. Should I be worried?

Plastic ring on steering column?

If nobody comes up with a good answer, the FSM can tell you.

It looks like a plastic bushing which might help take slack out of the steering wheel? I'd definitely try to get it replaced asap.

Oddly enough, I couldn't even find the part through the dealership. But you're right, it looks the same. I'll double check tonight to make sure it's not loose or anything. Thanks a ton guys, I really appreciate it. I hated driving like a grandma lol

You might want to try Courtesy Parts. They seem to have a large selection of parts and have diagrams for IDing what you have.
