Steer Over to the Forums & Share Your Tips on Steering Wheel Projects
Ford-Trucks forum members have a few questions and suggestions regarding steering wheels — from swaps and upgrades to repairs and maintenance.
The great thing about the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forums is that aside from offering a lot of amazing information about all-things Ford trucks, it’s also a place where you can go to give back and share what you know and tell us about your home-garage experiences with your projects, builds, mods, engine swaps, and more. There’s probably somebody in the forums right now who is starting a new build project and can use your help with some great advice based on your personal experiences with your Ford truck.
In fact, we recently found a couple of great Ford truck-related threads that help to understand the interchangeability of steering wheels in Ford F-series trucks. The posts also cover which ones will make a smooth swap, and which ones won’t. These threads are timeless and a good read, and FTE forum members are always open to more feedback too. In fact, there’s a new thread that was started this week by forum member “MyronJ,” who is considering buying a used leather steering wheel from a 2017 F-150 that he was told will fit his 2017 F-350. “[But only] if I swap over my controls to the F-250 steering wheel,” he says. “Anybody done this or know if they will interchange?”
If you have experience with these topics below, why not pop into the forums and share some of your tips, tricks, and techniques to help get the job done? We’re sure the forums would appreciate it as much as we do. And racking up good karma points is never a bad thing.
Loose Steering on 2020 F-350
“This is my first truck other than a Hummer H2 in the past. But I feel my steering wheel is too loose. Anything I can check or do to fix the issue?” asks “C8Z06.”
Steering Wheel Upgrade or Repair?
“I have a 2005 F350 King Ranch and the steering wheel is really showing some wear. It has the radio and cruise control on it. Is it possible to swap to a new model steering wheel? Or would I be better off seeing if a leather repair/detailing company could restore the original?” wonders “651_F350_KR.”
’95 F-350 Steering Wheel Swap
“Anyone know if a steering wheel out of an ’02 f250/350 would fit my ’95 350?” asks “Outlaw30256.”
F-150 to F-250 Steering Wheel
“Will the f250 and excursions wheels fit my ’99 f150? Are the spines the same size?” asks “Smurf2665.”
Worn Leather Steering Wheel Cover…
“The black color on the leather steering wheel has worn away on my 2006 Lariat. So I think I’m gonna try to re-dye it myself. I’ve located two vendors with kits: Leather Magic and Leatherique. Has anyone tried this or have a familiarity with these brands?” asks “98surplusexpy.”
Steering Wheel Movement
“The mechanic said I needed new bearings. But, for the kit and to install it, he wants $300. I think that’s too much. Does anyone know about this kit, and where I might get one? I bet I can put it on myself… says “drshoop3.”
