please install your wheels dead center then align your vehicle. lock to lock i believe from memory is...

full lock left the wheel should be around 4-5...

full lock right should be 7-8...

it may be reveresed, but my memory tells me this.. i think this is a good idea.

your rack should be dead center this way when you align it.

Word. I have a Personal Nardi as well. Mine is on a momo hub, sparco spacer and a quick release though. The reason it feels all weird is cause you got a crappy hub. spend the $70 and get the real momo 5705 hub. that cheap hub will work fine on a FB3 and a NA3 but it doesn't have the needed spacer for a FC3.

If you get a new steering wheel, you should get a spacer (unless you're uber-short)...

It lets you see your gauges again, and be in the correct position.

Don't hit the wheel, you can **** up the spindle.

Rent a steering wheel puller from Autozone for free...or make your own like I did.

Two bolts and a little piece of steel, run the bolts in to pull on the center of the wheel evenly, and then pop the spindle with a mallet. POW!!!

I installed the steering today with the sparco hub and the steering wheel. Unfortunately, I did follow all the insturction taking out the steering wheel with advice you guys gave me, but one thing I realize somethig is rubbing on the steering column, the hub seems to be to close to the steering column near the dash"hope someone know what I'm talking about" anyway so when i turn it sound like it is rubbing on to it. What can I do, am I missing something?

thanks in advance, the wheel felt little heavy too.

Is it rubbing for sure? I noticed a rubbing sound but i think it might have been the springy thing that makes the horn have continuity. The stock wheel is all greesed up where the "thingy" comes in contact with it... I greased mine a bit and the sound is gone.
