Driving heavy-duty commercial trucks for long hauls and not liking uncomfortable steering wheels? Find this more comfortable steering wheel with a better grip. This 18" steering wheel is compatible with different truck models, such as KW, Peterbilt, and Freightliner. The other essential features of this product are as provided below:
Size: The steering wheel rim is 18" in diameter, which is larger than a typical steering wheel. It helps to increase the turning torque and reduces the operating force to allow the user to use the steering wheel more flexibly. It has a depth of 2".
Fitment: This steering wheel has a universal fitment; it fits 18" steering wheels. It is suitable for different types of trucks and is compatible with different models of the KW, Peterbilt, and Freightliner brands. Note: The steering wheel is universal; however, it needs a vehicle-specific mounting base and hub adapter (sold separately) before installation. You can fit this steering wheel with our 3-hole hub adapters (B1 and B4 models)
Durable Construction: This steering wheel has a wood-made outer layer and an iron-made inner layer. It comes with a brown-painted surface finish to provide a sleek and professional look. The 4 spokes of the steering wheel are aluminum-made and chrome-plated with a smooth, black surface. The material is durable, lightweight, and protected against corrosion. We also provide steering wheels in different designs and numbers of spokes.
Comfortable Design: The back of this steering wheel contains smooth finger grooves to provide the driver with a comfortable grip so that they can drive for a longer time without any discomfort. Use our 18" steering wheel cover for a sweatproof experience while using steering wheels on long journeys.
Application: The steering wheel is the primary control device; it acts as the main interface between the driver and the vehicle's steering system. It helps in directional control of the vehicle by rotating it clockwise and counterclockwise as required.
Installation
Park the vehicle on a flat surface, turn off the ignition, and disconnect the batteries to avoid accidental horns or electrical shorts. Make sure the tires are facing forward/straight, not sideways, as it helps in installing the steering wheel correctly.
Now, install the hub adapter (sold separately) by sliding the hub onto the steering shaft splines. Align it properly and torque it to the manufacturer's specifications.
You can now mount the new steering wheel by placing it onto the hub.
Attach the horn bracket/retainer plate if included.
Insert and tighten the bolts, and connect the horn wire (included) from the hub to the horn button assembly.
Install the center cap and horn kit by pressing the horn button/cap into the center of the wheel.
