FAQs
Does this boss kit work with my car's airbag?
This boss kit is designed for use with aftermarket steering wheels and typically replaces the original steering wheel, which may include an airbag. Installation of aftermarket steering wheels often requires disabling or bypassing the original airbag system. Consult a professional installer if you are unsure about airbag safety procedures.
What does '6 x 70mm PCD' mean?
PCD stands for 'Pitch Circle Diameter.' It refers to the diameter of the circle on which the bolt holes for mounting the steering wheel are centered. A 6 x 70mm PCD means there are 6 bolt holes arranged on a circle with a 70mm diameter, which is a common standard for many aftermarket steering wheels.
Can I use this kit with a quick-release system?
Yes, the MOMO Collapsible Racing Hub/Boss Kit MK3516R is designed to allow the use of compatible quick-release boss systems for added flexibility and security.
Is this boss kit compatible with all Momo steering wheels?
This boss kit is compatible with most aftermarket steering wheels that feature the 6 x 70mm PCD bolt pattern, including many Momo steering wheels. Always confirm the bolt pattern of your specific steering wheel.
What is the 'collapsible' feature?
The collapsible design is a safety feature intended to help absorb impact energy in the event of a frontal collision, potentially reducing the risk of injury to the driver.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools such as socket wrenches, screwdrivers, and a steering wheel puller (depending on the original wheel's fitment) are typically required. A torque wrench is highly recommended for proper tightening of bolts.
How do I clean the boss kit?
Clean the boss kit with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
Troubleshooting

Ensure all mounting bolts for both the boss kit to the column and the steering wheel to the boss kit are fully tightened according to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

Check the horn wiring connections between the steering wheel, the boss kit, and the vehicle's wiring harness. Ensure the horn button mechanism is properly seated.
