Improve Your Driving Experience With A New STI Steering Wheel
If you do a lot of driving in your Impreza, you might find that your steering wheel can become a little worn and is not as comfortable as it used to be. It’s easy to find a replacement, either as a used one or even a brand new steering wheel.
Various styles and configurations
If you’re looking to buy a brand new steering, you’ll be surprised by the different styles and configurations that are available. You just have to check the seller’s compatibility list to ensure that the steering wheel that you’re looking at is going to fit your model of vehicle.
What’s the standard size of an STI steering wheel?
The steering wheel that is factory fitted on a 2019 Subaru Outback is 14 ½” in diameter and has a 4 ½ inch grip circumference. Most of the available aftermarket new steering wheels are either 14 inch or 15 inch, so make sure that the steering wheel you want to buy is going to fit your vehicle by checking the compatibility list.
Consider whether you want a genuine replacement or an aftermarket one
If you want a genuine OEM replacement steering wheel, it’s better to look at the used models and to ensure that the steering wheel you want to buy will fit your vehicle. This way you know that you’re going to get the same driving experience that you’re used to.
On the other hand, if you’re a little more adventurous, you might want to consider an aftermarket steering wheel that is brand new. Once fitted, this may take a little while to get used to because it may not have the exact same feel as your original steering wheel that you’ve replaced.
Add a new steering wheel cover
You might also consider adding a new steering wheel cover either on your replacement steering wheel or to make your current one more comfortable.
A lot of the quality covers available are made from PU leather that will provide a nice comfortable grip while you’re driving.
While you’re improving the interior of your vehicle, you might also want to consider a new WRX shift knob or some comfortable seat belt covers.
