What material is the OMP Steering Wheel Spacer made from?
It is constructed from lightweight aluminum, providing durability without adding significant weight.

What is the depth of this specific OMP steering wheel spacer?
This model offers a fixed depth of 40mm.
Can this spacer be used with a steering wheel that has an airbag?
While the spacer itself can be installed, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that its use does not compromise the functionality or safety of the vehicle's airbag system. Consult your vehicle's manual or a professional if unsure.
How do I clean the OMP Steering Wheel Spacer?
Clean it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Does this spacer require professional installation?
Installation typically involves basic tools but requires careful attention to detail, especially regarding the re-installation of the steering wheel and associated components. While many users can perform this, professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with automotive work.
Troubleshooting
Steering wheel feels loose after installation.
Ensure all mounting bolts (both to the column and to the steering wheel) are properly tightened to the recommended torque specifications. Re-check the connection between the spacer and the steering column boss.
Horn or other controls not functioning.
Verify that the wiring for the horn and any steering wheel controls has been correctly reconnected during the installation process. The spacer itself should not interfere, but reconnection is critical.
Spacer does not align with steering wheel bolt holes.
Confirm that the steering wheel being used has a 6x70mm bolt pattern. This spacer is designed exclusively for this pattern.
Vibration felt through the steering wheel.
This could indicate improper installation or an imbalance. Ensure the spacer is mounted perfectly centered and that all bolts are torqued correctly. If the vibration persists, consult a professional mechanic.
