Steering Wheel Install Questions

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

For those of you that have installed after market steering wheels and quick release adapter, have a couple questions

1) Did you use loctite on any of the fasteners....at all?

2) Did you use nuts on the back side of the bolts that hold the quick release adapter to the hub adapter, for extra security, or just screwed straight into the adapter?

Re: Steering Wheel Install Questions
My setup is similar but a little different as it is an NRG unit, but I didn't loctite the bolts at first and they all came loose at the track. :eek:


A little blue loctite is recommended by this guy.

Didn't use loctite but it certainly won't hurt. Make sure you use some sort of thread locker on the primary steering wheel bolt (36mm head) connecting it to the column.
