Really want a new steering wheel on my 1990 truck.Old one is too big, worn etc. It‘s and easy install, really simple.no power steering, no airbags etc. I know the cost for a new wheel and installation ( If i didn‘t do it myself )How common is it for an aftermarket wheel to come off or for it to strip the hub etc, Id prefer to not crash at 65 mph. I would assume it‘s no more dangerous than the wheel on my truck now, but just wondering.
If it is installed properly there is no additional risk. Might be safer in fact if you are not comfortable with the stock wheel. As a side note I find it hard to believe you have a 1990 truck and no power steering.
No known probs with aftermarket steering wheels. I have had a grant classic 13 wheel (same steering wheel) in 3 cars over the past 13 years. No probs with it. These 3 cars have been street/strip cars ranging from 300 HP to 600 HP.My camaro now is 600 HP, took to dragstrip every weekend runs 125 mph through the 1/4 mile, drove to track and back 2 hours each way, used as a daily driver car for 7 years with about 10K miles per year. My GF has a grant GT wheel on her '87 burb that came off my dad's toyota pickup that he had for 8 years (had to buy a new install kit to put it on her chevy though) I have a grant classic wheel on my 1988 S10 You have nothing to worry about when it comes to the safty of an aftermarket steering wheel. Just buy the right install hub/kit for your car and install like the papers says to and you'll be fine
