Thread: Steering Wheel

G'day.
I hope you had the wheels set straight ahead and taped the rotary coupling when you disassembled!
There's a spring-loaded plunger on the rotary coupling that fits into a recess as you replace it. It could be this that's causing you grief. Also, the pegs that operate the indicator self-cancel may be impacting as you replace the wheel. Again, having everything set up with the wheels straight ahead should negate these problems.
I'm having to replace the rotary coupling in my 300Tdi as the inner ribbon has pulled out of the plug. I suspect the breakage was caused by a wheel aligner in the past (before I owned it). Rotary couplings are tres expensive (like about $350) so I got my replacement from a US wrecker. It should arrive by post this week and then I can hopefully get this vehicle thru' a rego check (the horn didn't work so they failed it )

Hi:
The wheels were set straight ahead, but I did not taped the rotary coupling when I disassembled the stering wheel / I just remenbered the position where it was located / I moved the rotary coupler a couple clicks right and left, / after everything was in place a rotated the wheel to the right, thats when I found the noise / Horn is working / WHAT SHOULD I DO / I have everything apart again / is there a way to reset the rotary coupler or do I need a new one? / the rotary coupler makes the clicking noise right and left; also theere is a black spring on a stick out of it, when I press that there is no noise /
SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks
