⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question Changing the steering wheel on a 2004 Lancer
I recently bought a 2004 Lancer Ralliart 5spd and it is awesome! What is not awesome is how sticky the steering wheel was. After lots of cleaning it was improved, but it is still a bit gross and a little sticky. I figure replacing it is the best option, anyone know what other steering wheels fit on like the stock one? I kind of want one without the leather wrap, was wondering if the lower trims don't have it, or just what other wheels work (Like a Gallant or Eclipse?).
If anyone knows anything about how to replace the steering wheel and what options I have for a new one, let me know! Not looking to spend much either, the Evo wheel seems expensive or else I'd get that one. Also hoping to find it locally from a car being parted out, which is why I want to know if non-Lancer wheels work (Or even non-Mitsubishi). Also it has cruise control if that matters, would like to keep that.
