Installation recommendations

In general, the following procedure applies to the replacement of the steering wheel. The exact steps of disassembly, securing and connection depend on the specific design of the car. It is a safety-important part of driving; if the replacement requires manipulation of the airbag, we recommend entrusting the work to a qualified auto mechanic. The steps below do not replace the manufacturer’s service procedure.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the part numbers, shaft mounts, shape and seating surfaces with the old steering wheel.
• Check the crown, surface, hub and attachment points. Do not install a steering wheel with cracks, deformation or damaged attachment.
• Compare the fastening of the airbag module and any connectors or controls, if the design uses them. Mere similarity in appearance is not enough.
• Please note that this steering wheel does not have an integrated VMF controller. Transferring the original controller or mounting a separately purchased piece requires a corresponding design.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Suitable hand tools according to actual fasteners and torque wrench.
• Aids for careful disassembly of the covers, if necessary, and a means of marking the relative position of the parts.
• Clean cloth, interior protection and service documentation for a specific car.
• Any special tools or new fasteners only if prescribed by the manufacturer.

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Stop the vehicle safely, secure it against movement and set the front wheels in a straight direction.
2. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery according to the manufacturer’s procedure. Observe the prescribed waiting time before working with the airbag system.
3. According to the service documentation, access the steering wheel mounting. If an airbag module is present, its removal and safe storage must take place in the prescribed manner.
4. Before disconnecting, note the wiring route and the position of the connectors. Release the connectors by their bodies after unlocking the fuses, not by pulling on the wires.
5. Record the relative position of the steering wheel and shaft. Prevent unwanted rotation of the shaft and any contact ring.
6. Unfasten the fasteners in the prescribed manner and remove the original steering wheel. Do not use blows or prying that could damage the steering column.
7. Compare both parts again and check the mating surfaces. Move any controllers or other transferred components only if they are of the same design and according to the service procedure.
8. Place the replacement steering wheel in the correct position and check that the wiring is not pinched or stretched. Any contact ring must remain in the correct starting position.
9. Secure and tighten the steering wheel fastening according to the manufacturer’s documentation. If the manufacturer requires a new fastener, do not reuse the original one.
10. Connect the appropriate connectors, check their security and install the dismantled components, including any airbag module, according to the prescribed procedure.
11. Restore power according to the manufacturer’s instructions and check the steering, lights and relevant electrical functions before driving.

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • Check that the steering wheel is firmly seated, that there is no unwanted play, and that the steering wheel moves smoothly without rubbing or unusual noises.
  • Check the function of the horn and any controls according to the car’s equipment. If the car uses an airbag, also check the standard behavior of its warning light.
  • Do a short test drive only after a successful on-site inspection, in a safe environment and at low speed. Observe the position of the steering wheel when driving straight and the behavior of the steering.
  • Do not continue to use the vehicle if there is play, rubbing or a fault signal until the cause has been eliminated.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Incorrect turning of the steering wheel: before disassembly, record the position and respect the prescribed setting during assembly.
  • Turning the contact ring out of the starting position: if present, secure it according to the service procedure and do not turn it blindly.
  • Pinched wires or unsecured connectors: check wiring routing and all connector fuses before closing the assembly.
  • Estimated fastening tightening: use the torque wrench and data prescribed by the manufacturer of the particular car.
  • Swapping the design of controls or airbag mounting: compare all subsequent parts in advance; do not forcibly modify mismatched parts.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  Damage to steering wheels is generally caused by normal use, improper care or careless handling. The following overview does not describe the detected defects of this piece:

  • Long-term mechanical wear: Rubbing of hands, rings and other objects can cause smoothing or abrasion of the surface.
  • Sunlight and high temperatures: contribute to aging, drying and cracking of the leather surface.
  • Sweat, grease and aggressive cleaning agents: can affect the finish and deteriorate the look and feel.
  • Improper disassembly: prying, striking or violent disconnection can damage the attachment and related components.
  • Accident or strong mechanical stress: can cause deformation of the structure; a steering wheel damaged in this way is not suitable for further use.
