Fix (No so)quick release steering wheel podium base

Hans Stam

Hello,

I think I got a fix for the sticking steering wheel on a Podium base.

Did try some light grease on it before that,but it was not working,felt like it was a bit vacuum when removing the wheel.

Now I put some graphene dust on the rubber bushing after cleaning the rubber bushing,which seems to do the trick!

I just did and it is a good improvement ,but we will see how it works when the steering wheel is some time longer on the base.

For now it's great!

I used this stuff,but I think if you got a ordinary pencil and just write on the rubber I guess that will work too.

I'm not sure that using conductive powder so close to the pins is a great idea...

Hans Stam

Jeah,don't put the whole bottle on it!

Just a light coat will do just fine, surface of the rubber bushing is nowhere near the pins for that matter.

It is right next to the air intake though. Honestly - conductive powder is a bad idea. Use PTFE or silicone lubricant.

I would highly suggest not using this. As Gagaryn mentioned, a small amount of PTFE would be enough.

Ok,I will try that then.

Thanks for the tip!
