I purchased 2 of these. One crapped out on us and the other we've never had a problem with. The steering piece broke completely. We found replacements parts at Home Depot. If its not working, and I know this seems a bit much, take it in to your nearest hardware store. They love to help fix things for you. It may need a new piece that may be stripped and needs replacing.

Turn the locking handle 1 Turn at a time clockwise and latch it in tell it is snug, do not over tighten! If that wont work send it in, They will fix the problem....

I just used reducers and a mig. Get someone to tighten reducer on for you will help

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.

I actually had someone do it for me, but it seemed very easy. It took him about 10 to 15 minutes. The hardest part seemed to take off the middle of the steering wheel. I know I could have done it myself but just included it in the other things I had to have fixed.

I just put my granddaughter's together and the piece you are talking about doesn't go all the way in, just make sure it feels tight. once you put the steering on and tighten it, it holds together well. also the front little wheel doesn't touch the ground. Hope this helps!

try pushing the wheels in tighter; they're supposed to snap in. you need to use some strength. put some elbow grease into it man.

We actually have had the same problem. After about 4 minutes, it was terrible!! I read someone else's post which said that he was having the same problem and realized that he was very picky about making sure that everything was tight, so he loosened the screws a bit on the handle bars a quarter turn each until the squeek disappeared. We thought that we would try that. We did tonight, and it totally worked!! We loosened them on the handle bars on top and where they connect to the flywheel. That has made a tremendous difference. Prior to that, we had used WD40 and grease, but nothing seemed to work. Try to loosen the screws and see what happens. We actually have had the same problem. After about 4 minutes, it was terrible!!

start by installing the thrustmaster program off their website if things still act up after trying by resetting things on the wheel and the pc you might have a bad wheel like I did.

hmmmm, must have gotten one where quality control was asleep at the wheel. No idea where to find another one.........maybe try and find something that will work instead? I'll check around and if I see something that may work, I'll let you know.

Give it a little tug that should set it in place. Any way that works for me.

I used the center post to "hammer" the wheels in. 1-2 whacks should do it, on the flat part of the wheel. Be sure the wheel is aligned with the center, as shown in the diagram. I was unable to push it in manually, but I do have small hands.

It is kinda tricky. find the exact spot and to tighten turn clock wise. It took a little while to find the right area to tighten. pull all the way up and keep trying. good luck

I'll be super honest - I used a drill and the torx bit and just tightened them until they wouldn't go any further. I've periodically checked them, but they are all still tight tight. I didn't bother with a torque wrench.

I had the same issue. I put a couple of drops of silicone oil on the wheel as they suggested and this is working so far.

We don't seem to have one. Perhaps it is the pin that holds the steering post upright, especially if it has a small spring loaded ball on the end. Check all the pictures you can find on the net to see if it appears - and the instruction manual again.

Yep. Undo the nut, open the clamp, close the clamp, tighten the nut. Your only problem may be that the clamp is too big for the steering wheel. A piece of rubber inner tube or leather will fix that. Get the inner tube from a bike shop. Ask for an old tube that they are going to throw out. Leather your on your own. Hope this helps.
