How do I remove my original steering wheel?: We recommend referencing the shop manual for your vehicle to clarify proper removal instructions. You may also need a steering wheel or gear puller to remove steering wheel from column.
Are there any special modifications necessary to install GTP steering wheels?: Some applications may require removing a part from the bottom of original wheel hub and transferring to the GTP hub.
My vehicle is not listed in the GTP application chart. Are additional applications available?: Based on demand, we will continue to offer additional vehicle applications and you should check online periodically for current updates. Feel free to send an email or call customer service to review what may be in the works.
What materials are used to make GT Performance installation hubs and horn buttons?: (No castings, steel covers, plastic retainers and shoulder screws used at GT Performance Products) GT Performance Products installation hubs, horn buttons and horn button attachment base are all CNC machined from 6061 Aluminum.
Can I install a GT Performance Steering wheel onto an aftermarket steering column?: GT 3 & GT 9 installation hubs are compatible with IDIDIT columns, check the GT application listing for specific model number for your IDIDIT column. It is our understanding, that Flaming River uses a different spline configuration on their columns and GT hubs are not compatible. Most other import columns use the GM spline configuration and would be compatible. However, we suggest checking with the manufacturer or distributor of such columns to confirm fitment.
Can I install a Grant steering wheel using a GTP installation hub?: Yes…GT 3 installation hub and GT 3 horn buttons are compatible. GT 9 installation hubs and horn buttons are compatible with most 9 bolt billet steering wheel manufacturers i.e. ( LeCarra, Billet Specialties, Budnik, etc).
Most of the installation kits I’ve used in the past had many pieces, instructions were difficult to follow and installation was confusing! How is it to install a GT Performance installation hub?: Simple…GT 3 and GT 9 installation hubs are one piece and machined from 6061 aluminum and there is one additional piece necessary to attach the horn button.
I have had a problem in the past (with another brand) and the horn button kept popping off and the horn blowing in the middle of the night! Will I have this problem with GT Performance Horn Buttons?: No! GT uses a unique rubber “O” ring attachment method which does not have any spring pressure between horn button and wheel. The “O” ring secures the horn button in place and acts to suppress vibration and eliminate the chance of rattle.
Can I remove my airbag steering wheel and replace it with a GT Performance Products steering wheel?: NO! GT Performance Products are not designed for use on airbag equipped vehicles. We do not recommend changing, altering or removing the airbag from any vehicle for safety and legal reasons.
What should I use to maintain and protect the gloss finish?: GT Performance spoke, hub and horn button materials are primarily high grade aluminum, stainless steel or chrome. We recommend Autosol polish (or equivalent). Apply with a soft cloth and buff out with a micro fiber cloth. Wood rims are clear coated and should be cleaned using a damp cloth, leather rims should be periodically clean using a name brand leather cleaner and foam grips can be cleaned and protected using a quality vinyl protector (such as 303 protectant)
