Need Help for Steering Wheel? :(

Post by cansavural »

Hello there, my '98 C70's steering wheel wood grain had been broken, I have the parts but glueing method sounds not a good idea. Any thoughts?

Get a factory leather wrap wheel. In 98 I was able to order my S90 without that wood steering wheel your car has, but with a leather wrap wheel that was also available. In my case I like the feel of a leather wrap wheel better than either the wood (full or partial), or rubber alternative Volvo has offered over the years. Recently I ordered a replacement new leather wrap wheel for my 2004 S80 T6 from the dealer. It was expensive but worth it to me. I imagine a used wheel off of a 1998 90, 70 series car in leather is for sale online somewhere. June

Nice! Those are so much nicer to grip than those strange wood inserts. June

Notice that OP is not in N. America. The wheel from any 98-2004 C70 or 98-2000 S or V70 will fit.
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)
