Beef Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hey ladz, just a question, when everyone else has put on an aftermarket wheel and boss kit, does your stearing go a little stiffer? or not? if not what would cause mine to go a little harder to stear? it almost feels like the power stearing isnt working as much anymore..

midnight Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 is it a different size? ie smaller? a smaller wheel will make it harder to turn Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/138663-aftermarket-steering-wheels/#findComment-2582767 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad082 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 it could be to do with the boss kit. i wish i could put an aftermarket wheel on but i have an airbag. also if you are in qld, make sure that the diemeter of the wheel is bigger than 350mm, and not less then 25mm smaller than the stock. they are the legal requirements in qld. not sure about other states though.

Hungryhippo Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) abs light? might be going off cause you removed the airbag Edited October 14, 2006 by Hungryhippo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/138663-aftermarket-steering-wheels/#findComment-2583187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_david Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Thats the handbrake engaged light. Might be used by low brake fluid, or other brake problem to, other then that, the switch for the handbrake might be a tad broken.

Atreyu Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 HICAS light, looks like you havent lined up the sensors when you changed the bosse's over. Did you get the correct Hicas boss kit for your car? Thats where your problem lies.

Freddy Kruger Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 which light you mean? the one on the speedo or the one above the fuel guage? the one on the speedo is HICAS. as youve said you didnt get a hicas boss for the wheel, so that would be your prob... if its the other light id have to go take a look at mine... if its hand brake light the switch on it might be shagged, not sure if it warns for other probs tho...

Beef Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) oh sorry, yes the red one is my park brake... becuase i stopped and took the photo... but the light im asking about is the big bright yellow one... how can you tell the difference between the hicas boss kit and a normal one?? after i took the wheel off there was a black thing that span around with 2 legs on it, but i couldnt fit the boss kit on over these legs so i took it off, pics are below, i had to remove this piece to get the boss kit on properly... what is this piece.. should it have stayed on?? should the boss kit fit over these 2 legs on this black thing?
