Default Loose Steering wheel

I'm sure the easiest way to fix a loose steering wheel is to replace it, however, I noticed a small hole on the back side (top) of the wheel. Has anyone ever injected some type of glue/epoxy into that hole to stiffen there wheel? Thanks

Wow. Don't inject stuff into your steering wheel. Remove the center cap and tighten the nut that threads onto the shaft.

take a flathead and pry off the H. Then 19mm with extension and tighten down the wheel.

I think justinw is talking about the rubbery grip of the wheel coming loose from the framework inside it. If its not too far gone, a nice leather cover can make it feel firmer. I highly recommend Wheelskins.

If your talking about the rubber grip just being loose...you can try some epoxy it holds up for a few months
