Finding new 3-spoke Toyota steering wheels - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

***Ratko*** · 03-02-2002, 12:18 PM

Hey all,

I just wanna share some info that I found. A lot of people ask where to get them and I usually say "go to a celica for sale forum", but after going to the dealership and scoping out all the cars, I found that the same steering wheel is also share by a few other Toyotas. You guys in the US can get the same wheel off the MR-S, aswell as the new Matrix, and I believe the new Corolla's have the steering wheel too.

Anyways my point is, if your looking for the steering wheel, it may be a bit easier to find knowing that it is quite common in 2000+ Toyota cars.

latez.

If you put some creativity in it I'm sure you could figure somethin' out. You know... get a girls to sit on your lap while driving and let her regulate the gas pedal :wink: :grin:

It better be rear-ended, you don't want to buy the airbag from a Toyota dealer. :smile:

Connections on the Gen5 are all different. Just ask Luc.

After talking to a few people about the identifications of those plugs, I'm a bit more at rest in trying to swap it. I'm sure there may be issues that could arise, but they will be dealt with when the time comes. :smile: I'm holding off until the weather gets better down here.
