Where can I get a suicide ball ?

I am recovering from a shoulder injury and having to spin the wheel sometimes causes - hurts !

I remember those steering wheel knobs from back in the day and have been checking around but can only find ones for 1.25 inch diameter wheels. The 07 Tundra has a sort of oval one that is 1.5 inches at the widest point.

Anyone find one let me know.

Much appreciated.

Hey Ianbun

Hey Beau, I have used one for years and I get them at JC Whitney.I use the one that will fold out of the way. I can't drive without one anymore.

Thanks, A couple more questions if you don't mind.

JCW says 1.25 inch max. HAve you installed it on the s wheel of an 07+ tundra?

What advantage to the fold-down? I have heard people say that the fold-down will sometimes fold when you don't want it to ?

Thanks for any help.....

Steeling knob

I've used one for probably 25 years. I have the kind that is black and just a round knob. The black one has a clamshell type attachment that doesn't hurt your steering wheel if you take it off. I have never used the one that has a nekkid woman in it. I like the fold down type because if someone other than me drives they can fold it out of the way. I have never had it fold down when I didn't want it to. I put mine down at the lowest point on the steering wheel and just drive with my hand on top of the knob. It works great for backing trailers too! I bet you'll get used to it and can't do without it.

I would check truck stops or online at truck (semi trucks, not truck like we have). A lot of people still use the knobs in their rigs...

I agree with a Big truck Stop as mentioned earlier. I have also seen them at some tractor dealers.
