Hey all,

I've recently installed a momo wheel and hub into my car. I took out the SRS reel and soldered on a 2W 4.3kohm resistor to bridge the circuit. Since no SRS light popped up, I assumed that it is fine.

Though after about 100km of driving with new steering wheel, the front end of the car begins to wobble left and right with frequencies proportional to speed. I've checked all lug nuts and they've been properly torqued to 80lb ft. Basically speeds above 60km/h is incredibly iffy.

I believe the noise is coming from the front left side of my car and it may be something being loose there. I have yet to check because I've been working OT everyday for the past week. [Just noticed that yesterday afternoon]

Given such strange situation, I am looking for guidance from the members in this forum regarding this matter, for I really can't even wrap my mind around how a new steering wheel can cause this.

Thanks,
B.
