Clock spring question 200 1993

Thank you for the pointers on the connections and clock spring.

After about 100 miles, no light. So far, so good.

There are some drivers in my family that enjoy the tight turning radius of the 240, and will often do u-turns in the middle of streets, taking the steering wheel to a full stop. I assume this puts the most strain on the clock spring.

Does the turning the steering to full stops increase the wear on a clock spring? Is it possible that it only intermittanly fails near these full stops?

Thanks!
