What to Buy

You will need an adapter hub that is specific for your vehicle. Every vehicle has a different steering column with a different spline amount, design, and diameter. To install an aftermarket steering wheel setup you must have the appropriate adapter hub to convert your column from a spline design to a universal six bolt pattern.

All Grip Royal products utilize a 70mm PCD six bolt pattern. Therefore, many manufactures produce products that are compatible with Grip Royal steering wheels! Email us today to confirm hub compatibility at info@griproyal.com.

All steering columns require hub adapters to convert the column to a 70mm six bolt pattern. No, you cannot install the quick release without the hub adapter. Yes, you can install the hub adapter without a quick release. Depending on the vehicle and the hub it may place the steering wheel uncomfortably close to the stocks on the column (windshield wipers, turn signals, etc.). Every vehicle is different so we recommend asking friends with similar setups or searching online for the best and most comfortable combination.

Installation

Grip Royal products utilize the same 70mm six bolt pattern as many other steering wheel and hub manufactures; however, Grip Royal products have the pattern rotated to another location. We have completed our new Rotator-Spacers you can purchase to correct this issue without changing the orientation of your hub. If you choose to not purchase our Rotator-Spacer, most adapter hubs come with a ‘top dot’ to align the top for use with their respective products. We recommend NOT using these dots during installation. For installation we suggest mounting the steering wheel directly to the hub BEFORE applying the hub to the steering column. After tightening the adapter hub, remove the steering wheel for quick release installation. Basically, you will use the steering wheel for ensuring alignment of the hub on the column matches that of Grip Royal products. If your adapter hub and steering column will not allow the turning of the products due to alignment notches or other designs, you will need to have a front end alignment to adjust your steering rack to match that of the steering wheel installation.

Horn buttons are held in the center by a horn retaining ring that is specific per your adapter hub or by tension simply pressing outward on the hub or quick release.

If you are running an slim hub, the depth of the hub may not allow the use of a horn at all.

If you are running a quick release unit, there will be a metal c-ring that goes within the upper section of the quick release and holds the horn button.

If you are using a full size adapter hub there should be a metal retainer ring that came with the hub that will mount between the hub and steering wheel which holds the horn in place.

Every vehicle is different so we cannot answer for each specific vehicle. Some vehicles with OEM steering wheels offering an airbag will most likely throw airbag lights on the dashboard. Some vehicles have traction control lights thrown during installation of an aftermarket steering wheel setup. Some adapter hubs do not retain use of the horn button after installation. We recommend asking friends or forum members with similar setups for more detailed responses regarding your specific vehicle. There are some vehicles with no effects from aftermarket steering wheel installation and others with all of the above and more. Grip Royal is not responsible for any changes made to your vehicle, nor with providing information or products to resolve these issues as they are entirely the responsibility of the purchaser.

Warranty & Repair

For all of our steering wheels we recommend using a quick release unit and removing the steering wheel from the vehicle when not in use. Removing the steering wheel from direct sunlight and harsh temperatures will prolong the life of all materials.

LEATHER: Leather steering wheels are just like any other leather interior piece. Do not use harsh chemicals to clean your leather as it will strip away the protectant layers. The best method of cleaning is with a damp rag on a regular basis. By not cleaning your steering wheel, being that it is a high contact area, dirt will smooth the surface of the leather and make it look ‘shiny’ and eventually start to crack. We recommend using warm soapy water to clean your leather if you have gotten it very dirty, or just a simply wipe down on a regular basis to prevent major build up. Warning, some leather wipes or cleaners may contain chemicals that will break down the coloring of the leather.

WOOD: Wood steering wheels are sealed and have a high gloss surface. A simple wipe down with a rag is enough to keep the wheel cleaned. If your wheel has high build up we recommend a damp rag or very mild cleaning chemicals. Treat your wood steering wheel as you would your other interior pieces of your vehicle.

PAINTED: Painted steering wheels are very delicate items. Our steering wheels us a two stage automotive paint system so it is just like the paint on the exterior of a vehicle. With this in mind, the same characteristics and methods should be applied when it comes to taking care and cleaning the steering wheel. A simple wipe down with a rag or mild cleaners will suffice for regular maintenance. If necessary washing with soap and water can remove hard grime build up. We highly recommend using a quick release unit with these wheels and keeping them indoors or under your seat when not driving the vehicle. With extreme weather conditions the wood will expand and contract and can damage the paint, especially being that the steering wheel is the highest contact area with the driver within the vehicle.
