The "spring" the dealer was referring to is almost certainly the "clockspring" -- not a spring at all, but rather a ribbon cable in the steering column that's flexible enough to handle the steering wheel being turned.
If I'm not mistaken, you have to remove the airbag and the steering wheel to replace one. It's a little bit time consuming, and you have to handle the airbag safely, but other than that, it's not too hard to replace. --Geoff On 6/12/05, Joe D.
