Aftermarket or OE Steering Wheel?

[smmenterprises]

Does anyone have an aftermarket or OE replacement steering wheel in their Lincoln LS? I want to do this to my 2006 LS, but looking for some information on it. Mine is getting worn out! Please advise.

looks just like a sport steering wheel to me

A member here had his re-upholstered. I believe it was done where he lives...in SoCal.

Yeah I thought of that, but hard to find a good upholstery guy and had the turn around time while they do the work. I was hoping to go woodgrain too!

I would love to find an aftermarket wheel to fit. Need to find an adapter

As long as you don't mind the increased risk of death or serious injury without an airbag.

I'm working on finding a hub that will fit our spline count. I'll let you know next week after I do some research. I have a feeling that it's not an easy task.

My 71 ford truck, the continental I'm buying and the Galaxie don't have them...

I think I'll do okay, I mean how did people survive all these years

...I think I'll do okay, I mean how did people survive all these years ...

Car wrecks were less survivable then. Personally, I'm all for progress and safety improvements.
Far fewer people die per mile driven now than did thirty years ago.

(Yes, of course you can do without airbags or even seat belts if you want to. It's your choice, but don't fool yourself. You are reducing your chances to survive a crash.)

 

[2002_lincolnLS]

let me know for sure, I am very interested in reducing the chance that I survive a crash apparently, and obviously would not understand risks with out another person telling me.

FYI.... got me wondering

The only airbags I would ever think about removing are the very early ones. Especially from Ford.

I've been in a crash involving newer side curtain and frontal airbags. Amazing stuff, I shouldn't have walked away from that.

We all know where I stand on this subject...

So no one has an aftermarket steering wheel or know the best place to purchase a recovered one?

 

[G-RELL]

I imagine your best (easiest) bet is to try and find I used one in better shape...http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-LINCOL...Parts_Accessories&hash=item5659499d65&vxp=mtr

I just picked up a woodgrain one at pull a part looks new and was cheap as hell.

Just got a nice aftermarket one today. Does anyone know what car we share the steering column with? I'm having a hard time finding definitive proof outside of ebay drop downs saying what it matches with. Looks like a first gen LS might share the column/spline with a 4th gen Mustang.

Aftermarket from where?

Got this today from Grip Royal. Looking to find the hub and quick release.

 

[2002_lincolnLS]

I love Grip Royal Wheels. They look amazing

Sorry for taking this off topic, but I'm sure that this isn't helping my crash rating either, but it's going on, too.
