FAQs
What is the main benefit of using a steering wheel spacer?
The main benefit is to adjust the steering wheel's position closer to the driver, improving comfort, ergonomics, and control for a more personalized driving experience.
What does the '6x70mm PCD' bolt pattern mean?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. This measurement indicates the diameter of the circle on which the bolt holes are centered. A 6x70mm pattern means there are 6 bolt holes spaced evenly around a 70mm diameter circle, common on many aftermarket steering wheels and boss kits.
Can I use this spacer with any steering wheel?
No, this spacer is specifically designed for steering wheels and boss kits that feature the 6x70mm bolt pattern. Always check your existing components' specifications before purchasing.
Is the installation difficult?
Installation requires basic mechanical skills. It involves removing the steering wheel and mounting the spacer between the boss kit and the steering wheel. Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with automotive work.
What material is the spacer made from?
The spacer is constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum.
Does this spacer add significant weight?
No, the aluminum construction ensures it adds minimal weight to the steering system.
What depth options are available?
The product is available in various depth options, allowing you to choose the best fit for your ergonomic needs. The specific product listed is 60mm depth.
Troubleshooting
Steering wheel is not centered after installation
Ensure the steering wheel and spacer were aligned correctly on the splines of the boss kit and column. Re-check the mounting bolts and alignment.
Spacer bolts do not align with steering wheel or boss kit
Verify that your steering wheel and boss kit both use the 6x70mm bolt pattern. This spacer is only compatible with this specific pattern.
Loose steering wheel after installation
Double-check that all bolts connecting the boss kit to the column, the spacer to the boss kit, and the steering wheel to the spacer are securely tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
Horn or other steering wheel controls are not functioning
Ensure the wiring for the horn and any other controls was properly reconnected during installation. Check that the steering wheel itself is correctly seated and wired.
