Reply to "OEM key shape and Ignition Switch"

A few years ago I went through all the wire clips on the fuse box and cleaned everything. I guess a good idea would be to have a professional check the electrical system even if everything is working well. A little corrosion on a wire attachment means trouble.

If you have an original switch that is troublesome I still say that the best bet is to send it for rebuild. A good source will make it better than new.

Maybe a good idea would be to gather all the maintenance points that people have discovered and do some preventative care.

For me:
!.
Make sure you unbolt the front upper A-arms and grease the upper ball joint.

2.
After 40,000 miles, disconnect the shift linkage at each end to reverse the shaft 180 degrees. The u-joint wear points will be on the other side, like new.

3.
Same with the steering. It has two u-joints.
