Will this spinner knob ruin the steering wheel?

Under the clamp is a pad on both end, so it should be ok. But if you over tighten it, I am sure it will leave a dented mark.

No. It has two gaskets that keep it tight to the wheel but don't bite into it. So it can work on leather or wood.

There is padding on the underside of the clamp so it will not marr the wheel. But keep in mind, that since the clamp uses force, there is the possibility that it will leave marks on a soft steering wheel.

I put the knob on my side by side. It did not ruin the wheel at all. But it also wasn't the tightest fit for that kind of wheel

The problem is if you do not tighten it to the point of possibly leaving a mark, it will not stay firmly in place. Those "teeth" are there for that reason. You should not use the spacers to cover the teeth up. If you put it on correctly, the marks would be on the underside of the steering wheel anyway. But the teeth are not really sharp enough to poke holes.

Sure. Press the button next to the on/off wheel, that will stop the rotation.

When you use the key you can move the club to fit your steering wheel or take it off from it. it is simple and works well. If it doesn't retract then your club is broken.

If the handle is too far to the lock position or up position then they will stop rotating. The other is you may have a broken spindle and that would need to be replaced.

I agree with the other answers. It should not take much force to put the new knob on. Make sure you line up the flat part of the knob with the flat part on the spindle, then press on.

I would imagine it would fit on any steering wheel. It's universal. I have had it for a couple of years and I simply love it. It's egant and feels really good to the touch. I recommend it highly.

There is a variety of shims/spacers included with the knob. It should fit just about any steering wheel out there (within reason). I would recommend that you check with local law enforcement. I'm pretty sure these are illegal for automobiles in some, if not all states.

not sure , there are a few companies that list an R8 spindle for it, takes about an hour to change. I added a belt drive and changed the spindle..

I don't know if this one is specific for your car, but yes this would make your steering wheel controls work again. For how long is a different story. This one started not working correctly about three or four months after installation.

no. it is held in place with 3x 14mm strut mount nuts at the inner wheel arch (fenderwell) and 2x 22mm nut/bolt combos at the steering knuckle/spindle and is connected to the sway bar link by way of a 19mm nut. I'd give you instructions, but if you need to ask, you shouldn't do it. there's too much risk of error and serious injury in disassembly of a vehicle's suspension and the consequences of steering or suspension failure from erroneous reassembly are far too serious for an amateur to consider doing the work.a car is a 4000lb machine in motion on springs. get a professional to do it. with respect, Mr. d'Alessandro, that's the best advice. no. it is held in place with 3x 14mm strut mount nuts at the inner wheel arch (fenderwell) and 2x 22mm nut/bolt combos at the steering knuckle/spindle and is connected to the sway bar link by way of a 19mm nut.

I'd just disconnect it. If your steering wheel is close to the size of mine, removing it is pretty much impossible.

Throwing in a machine I think would ruin mechanism & wheels, but wipe clean definitely

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

I would recommend staying away from Moog. I had a complete steering loss caused by a failure of their part.

I have had these fail to go into the reverse mode but never stay there. If you open the device up by unscrewing the large ring at the top, you may find that the spinning timing device is clogged. If this is the case, it should be easy to fix.

No! The torque causes the spindle to get stuck to the drive shaft. I had to eventually break the bowl to release it. See my review under "Doesn't cut the cheese".

No and it will likely die after 2 years and Sony wont replace it. The previous model of this did for me and I switched to Alpine. Depending on the year of your car you'll have to get something more expensive and likely get another part to have it work with the steerin wheel controls.
