I'm having a slight issue with my steering wheel after replacing the audio controls. yes for those that will ask did i put it back on properly i did and no the car does not need a wheel alignment here is my situation. before this, my s/w was relatively straight when the tyres were but now they s/w is 90 deg anti-clockwise to where it was. this pic will give you an idea. any help/info would be appreciated
To my understanding when u put the wheel on, the splines on the shaft havent matched up or u have done the nut up tight enough. Therefore ur s/w is going to spin on the shaft. I cant think of anything else.
yeh it sounds like the splines arent matched up. can I ask why did you remove the wheel completely? The airbag/horn comes out and your able to jimmy the cables through the plastic covers without removing it. I would be getting your wheels straight then remove the wheel then put the wheel back on straight sounds simple but try it, somethings gone funny. Another tip, before you remove a steering wheel put a line of liquid paper across the splies and shaft, that way when you go to re-match it up you have a reference. :thumbsup:
Yeah it would still turn the tyres, its just that it will move over the splines rather than sitting in between them as it should.
i removed the wheel completely so i could paint the spokes. i will attack it later on today. once the wheels are straight i'll get holden to clear the srs fault. i forgot to plug the airbag back in.
