does the steering wheel of GL turbo 86 it's the same as DL 93?


Recommended Posts

No. In 1987 SUBARU changed the steering wheel stuff slightly...enough that the steering wheel WILL still bolt on...but the horn mechanism wont work. I like the 85 stuff better than the 89 one...and i tried to swap...horn never worked. :-\

It will bolt up. I believe you just have to tweek the horn contacts to align with the other wheel. Similar to installing a Momo or Nardi on the GL/Loayale series cars. I could be wrong but it makes sense to me.

I would either buy that one on ebay and try to make it work...or find one in a junkyard if you really want it that badly.

 

I never really tried to make the horn work...i was happy with just the wheel...since it was in a race car.

That wheel looks like the one off my 86 3-door, except that one looks like it has cruise control buttons. I swapped my wheel onto my 92 loyale, and it works fine. Horn works too. The wheel is a bit thinner than the one that came on the car, and has the radius bars in a more out of the way place. The wheel is more flexible, so hitting bumps with your hand at 12 o'clock will make the wheel flex forward a bit.
