Troubleshooting

Wheel feels loose or wobbly after attachment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the adapter onto your steering wheel is a one-time process for each wheel you wish to add to your collection. Ensure the adapter is tightened securely to the wheel hub before mounting it to the base. The adapter is exclusively compatible with the Thrustmaster T818 and T598 racing bases. To maintain the mechanism, keep the locking teeth clear of dust and debris. If you notice any resistance during the locking process, inspect the pins for any alignment issues and ensure the surfaces are clean. Store your wheels in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the connection points.
