Buying a used steering wheel: what to check
- Inspect rim cover leather or vinyl for wear: Check top and side hand grips for sun damage, peeling leather finish, loose stitching, or sticky rubber.
- Verify switch button action and wiring: Press every integrated thumb switch to confirm spring return and check rear wire harness plugs for damage.
- Check center spline bore and puller thread holes: Inspect center mounting splines for rounding and verify threaded wheel-puller bolt holes are clean.
- Confirm rear clockspring drive peg tabs: Inspect the backside of the wheel hub for intact plastic pegs that drive the clockspring turn-signal cancel cam.
- Disconnect battery before steering wheel servicing: Wait ten minutes after disconnecting the battery before removing or installing wheels with active airbag circuits.
