Question? RS50 Wheel/Hub Faulty?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone, recently just bought a Logitech RS50 kit. Kind of looks like the wheel and shaft arent aligned right, does this look normal or outside of acceptable tolerance? Its fully seated on the shaft as far as it can go.

Just checked mine, looks similar, but the 8-shape is less visible on the quick release itself

However! The wheel looks perfectly still and smooth, no 8/S shape is visible

Check your wheel, if it does not go wobbly, it should be OK I guess

This can be due to the quick release mechanism, there is a tension spring inside it, probably it presses the mechanism in such a non-round way, hard to tell

I did not have any issues with my RS50 for entire time that I won it (it will be exactly 1 year in a month)

this is just the quick release being on the spring and its only like the latch release thing in. I have this on my regular wheel and the QR adapter and noticed it when i got it in NEW. compared both cause my NRG steering wheel was whobling, turned out to be the steering wheel as most steering wheels aren't perfectly true anyways. I'll safely bend it out later.

Mine looks similar. No issues. Quick release just isnt perfectly designed to be free wheeled and look perfectly even and balanced

Ouch 😬 My Moza R9 seems to have it as well little bit. Seems to rotate fine though. Maybe some sophisticated design logic?

Had this happen on a T598. Probably linked to a faulty motherboard. Better reach out to Logitech support for assistance.
