Post by: yank on April 27, 2004, 07:40:59 PM
I\'ve just fit a Momo steering wheel to my FD3S and it looks great but vibrates really badly from 60mph-85mph...and i got no idea why? Any ideas whats causing this would be incredibly appreciated. Cheers.

I recon its the same as your old wheel vibrated, but due to being smaller is more noticable?

might be worth having the front tyres balanced or checking that they\'ve not started to deform.

I can\'t see how a steering wheel could make it vibrate at a certain speed :confused:

i\'m just up the road in blunham...while we\'re on the subject of steering wheels, i cant get my horn to work either. i had instructions on how to get it to work but they were for an rx with an airbag, which mine doesnt have. i thought it mite be because i had to get a boss for an fc3s to fit the wheel since momo dont make one for an fd3s. there just doesnt seem to be a way to get the wires from the horn to make a connection on the steering column...any ideas?
