Default Looking for a clock spring

Hello people! I need an air bag clock spring for a 2006 Equinox LT. All I see are "discontinued." Any ideas on where to find one, (besides a junk yard?)

Unfortunately, a junkyard part from a 2005-2006 Chevy Equinox or Pontiac Torrent is your only option. I work at a dealership and our locater shows no inventory remaining anywhere in the USA. The OEM part is discontinued and no aftermarket alternatives are available. I recommend using www.car-part.com to locate one.

Thanks, ruley 73! I was afraid that would be the situation. Hard to believe there's not an aftermarket substitute. Just not good business.

I was actually a bit surprised to learn that as well. However, you have to consider that that particular part was only used for these 2 models for 2 years almost 20 years ago. They refreshed the Equinox/Torrent a bit in 2007 so one from a 2007-2009 model (which is still available) won't work.
