Ive just fitted a MINT 4 Spoke RS Steering wheel to my 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth.
Problem is whilst turning it is clicking, like its catching on the stalk

Ive noticed on the original wheel in the centre of the boss there is a small piece of the hexagon cut away & the 4 spoke doesnt.
Is there any way round this

Or have i got to remove
Steve

 

it's probably the bit that turns the indicators off when you straightening the steering wheel

 

No this is catching the colum Pete
Is scraping slightly as you turn wheel too.
Just doesnt sound right Will this damage the stalks

 

What`s the part number on the boss???

 

Will go and check now m8
Gimme 5
Fella i bought it off has owned it for years he took it off his RS500 when he sold it. Said its been in a box in his garage for a few good years.
Wheel is MINT

 

5012678

 

Thats an mk3 mk4 RS turbo boss 5012678

You need a 9057618

 

Any ideas where i can get one m8

 

There hard to get hold of mate prob the rarest boss out the lot!


ebay your best bet mate but make sure you get 9057618

 

Cheers.
Is the one on now ok, as ive been told the RS Turbo bosses fit the Saphs ok

 

Can someone please tell me if the boss i have currently fitted to my steering wheel is going to cause problems.
Or is it ok, until i can find correct Boss
Steve

 

myboss fitted my mk2 sierra and my mk4 escort fine

but i bet the escos is different hence why its catching

id put teh origanl back on mate if your not happy with it

 

should be ok mate wont fall off or anything just catch like like you have said.

 

try this to stop it catching sounds like the steering column my of droped down.

fit the wheel on with the nut slightly on and pull the wheel up and re tighting the nut

 

Its not catching as much today,as you can see where it has been rubbing.
Just noticed a vibration through the wheels at about 80mph & think its a coincidence since ive changed it.
Car is low & polybushed. Does vibrate also if brake alittle hard.
Either wheels need tracking & balancing to eliminate problem, or its sommit else
Have jacked driverside up, as thats wgere it seems to be, but there is no play
& feels tight.
Ant ideas Guys
