The best implication is that if the lock fails, your steering wheel is still usable. I say take them all out. I had a locking mechanism fail on my daughter's 84SD and the locking pin dropped into place, seizing the steering wheel. It happened as I was turning out of a parking place. Good thing it didn't happen at 50mph on a winding road. How many people on here have had a thief deterred by a locked steering wheel? How would a thief know it wasn't locked when all the other 123's are?
