whats up fellas ... im about to do this tilt wheel conversion on my 93 .. just wondering if you guys have any tips on installing the grant wheel ... i have the formula series 771 model wheel ... im wondering about the spring .. do i remove the old one and replace it with the new one and attach it to the hub that came with the installation kit then just slide it onto the shaft ? Anyone have alignment problems after installation ? will i need to get a wheel allignment??

I'd also like to swap to a Grant wheel on a tilt column ('89 column). Subscribing to see what others have used for an adapter, clock spring, and surrounding trim. Pics would be great! I want a nice clean install.

you need the installation kit part number 3289 .. about the trim peices .. if you already have an 89 column in your car you should be able to reuse your trim peices .. if you have a 90-93 car you have to buy 87-93 trim peices

Cool, thanks.

I just didn't want to see any gaps or holes. I've seen a few cars with aftermarket steering wheels that looked pretty hacked.

Mine's an '83 with a '93 interior swapped in, then the '89 tilt column was swapped in later. Has the '89 column trim and instrument cluster shroud too.
