How to install a sports steering wheel

Installing the sports steering wheel in your car is one of the stages of tuning. The sports steering wheel improves car handling and reduces the driver's fatigue in complex modes of movement due to its more thoughtful, compared with the standard steering wheel, ergonomics. But the installation of a new steering wheel requires the knowledge of some nuances of editing.

We start setting from dismantling the old steering wheel. The first thing we turn off the battery from the on-board network. Then remove the decorative lining of the Classone. It can be attached to both hidden latches and hidden screws with a rear side of the ram. Under the lining there is a contact group of Klason and airbag. Disconnect the switching connectors from them. By unscrewing four screws, carefully remove the airbag module from the steering wheel. In the depths of Niche, the central nut fastening of the steering wheel on the steering shaft is becoming visible. Fix the steering wheel in a fixed position and the end key with the extension, we unscrew the central nut. Planting the steering wheel on the shaft is very dense, it is not possible to remove it with his hands. This requires a special puller. Install the puller strictly according to the instructions and tighten the screw shaft before removing the beam from the slotted connection. Everything is finished dismantling.

There are two types of sports steering wheel - designed for installation on a specific car model and universal. When installing the steering wheel under a specific car model, no difficulties occur. They coincide all seats and switching connectors. You just need to collect everything in the reverse order. After assembly, connect the battery terminal and check the performance of all buttons on the steering wheel. We pay attention to the indication of fault of airbags on the dashboard. With proper connection, it should not shine.

Installing a universal steering wheel is more problematic. The first thing that will be needed is an adapter adapter, designed specifically to install this steering wheel on your car model. It is advisable to apply adapters of well-known manufacturers, such as MOMO, SPARCO, NARDI. Your safety depends on their quality of manufacture. When installing, first the adapter is attached to the steering shaft, and already to it - the steering wheel itself. All required fasteners should be included with the adapter and steering wheel. Do not use bolts, hairpins and overall nuts - enhanced fasteners are used in the steering. After installation, connect the cl.xon connector and insert the decorative plug. We connect the battery terminal and check the performance of the beep. Everything can be in the way.

When installing a universal sports steering wheel, it should be borne in mind that some of the standard functions will be lost. The most important thing is that you lose the airbag. It is simply not in the universal steering wheel. And the dashboard lights the cushion accident indicator. It will be necessary to make a special "deceiving" to bypass the controller. It is better to charge a specialist, because There is a risk of damaging the controller and, accordingly, block the work of all other airbags. You also lose all the functions of the service buttons on a standard steering wheel - cruise control, audio control, telephone, etc. In some cases, it stops working automatically to return to the original position of the rotor pointer switch.

We hope that these brief recommendations will help you without much difficulty and with high quality to install a sports steering wheel. Remember - Your safety depends on the quality of components and accuracy. Good luck on the roads!
