I bought a 96 240SX that had been in a minor front end collision, and the airbags had deployed. I bought the replacement airbags, and the module that goes under the back seats. However I didn't get a new clock spring (I think that's what the piece right behind the steering wheel is called), or a new airbag sensor for the front of the car. My question is weather or not I have to replace these parts, or if they're reuseable. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, I already searched for this question and I didn't come up with anything. Thanks in advance!

Don't know if you can reuse those things but I just got rid of the airbags entirely, since they hit my nose when they exploded. I threw out the steering wheel and went with a MOMO. That's just my opinion because i'm not crazy about airbags.

I don't really care about the airbags myself, but I'm going to be letting my girlfriend drive the car for a while. I'd be much more at ease if the airbags were installed and working properly. Thanks for the input though!

i would think that the clock spring would still be good as long as its not damaged at all, but the airbag sensors are most likely broken. i wold replace those for sure. hope this helps,
