Steering wheels are an essential part of the steering system in vehicles and vessels. The steering wheel is manipulated by the driver; the rest of the vehicle or vessel system responds to such input. The response is either through direct mechanical contact, as in recirculating ball or rack and pinion systems, or through an indirect electric signal, as in hydraulic power steering, known as HPS.
A Volvo 94 is equipped with a dual-drilled, 6x70mm bolt pattern steering wheel hub that accepts most standard aftermarket wheels with a 6x70mm PCD sportratt volvo 940 (such as MOMO, Nardi, Sparco etc) or a 6x74mm PCD (such as Luisi). This is a universal hub kit that will not work on the factory airbag equipped wheels.

While changing a steering wheel isn’t difficult, it’s important to follow proper installation procedures. This will ensure that the lugs are tightened to the correct torque value. If you over-tighten a wheel, you could strip a lug nut or break a lug stud. Always use a torque wrench and be sure to apply the proper crisscross sequence when tightening the lugs.
Once installed, the next step is to calibrate the steering angle sensor. The steering angle sensor is a critical component of the car’s stability control and parking assist features. Located in the steering column, the steering angle sensor constantly monitors the speed and rotation of the steering wheel. If this data is incorrect or inaccurate, the DSC module will set a fault code.
To reset the steering angle sensor, start by turning off the ignition. Then, open the front door and unlock the driver’s door. Then, move the steering wheel in a straight direction until you’ve centered it. Once the wheel is centered, you can close the door and turn on the ignition again.
If the problem persists, you may need to take your Volvo into a dealer. A factory-trained technician will be able to perform a complete diagnostic and recalibrating of the steering angle sensor. They will also be able to help you replace the defective sensor, if necessary.
If you’re not comfortable performing this procedure yourself, it is possible to have a local alignment shop reset the steering angle sensor for you. The procedure typically takes about half an hour to complete. It’s best to perform this operation when the car is in neutral and you have no passengers or cargo inside the vehicle. This will avoid any potential problems caused by unloading the vehicle during the process. This can cause a loss of balance, resulting in severe rubbing or wheel damage.
