Default Momo steering wheel installation help



How is the hub suppose to go on the column? The hub is MOMO...

Is it suppose to go on like the first or second diagram?

When I turn all the way in one direction, it takes more turns to turn the wheels all the way than in the other direction.

This is pissing the expletive outta me.

your not making any sense.

1st you need to have the wheels perfectly straight. Trust me I have taken steering wheels off and put them on probably 10 time trying to fix the way they sit. There is no way that it can take more turns to lock the wheels on way than the other, unless you mean you put the wheel on crooked.

The wheels ARE perfectly straight. This is what is confusing me as well.

I'm going to put my stock wheel back on and see if it's the same...

How to make your steering wheel straight:
1. Put the steering wheel on.
2. Disregard wondering if its on right or not just put it on.
3. Drive down your street, the car will center the wheel and if its not straight then remember where it is.
4. If wheel is straight you are done, If not continue to step 5.
5. Attempt to adjust it that much in whichever direction it needs to go.
6. Repeat 3-5 untill wheel is straight

A little drawing wont help us because the spindle could be anywhere so we can't tell you which angle to put the wheel on. Just do it this way...

Trust me on this one I had 2 EFs and 1 steering wheel for a while, its not worth trying to do it any other way. Also leave the horn cap off until your are done so you can still get to the nut to take it off and adjust it. Also DO NOT leave the nut off when you drive around to see if its straight... I did this and it was a stupid idea, its god damn scary when you hit a bump and the steering wheel comes off in your hand and you can't steer.

i did one last night and what the issue is is that the rack isn't centered from the last alignment. the car that i did needed and alignment anyway, so what i did is turned the wheel all of the way 1 way and then all of the way the other way while counting the turns. then i divided # by 2 and that is the center of the rack. turn it there and that is where you should install your wheel and then get it aligned.
