Saturn Ion Steering Wheel
The Saturn Ion Steering Wheel is the driver's primary point of control and converts simple turns of the hand into the precision movement of the front tires. To do this, the Steering Wheel connects to either a rack and pinion gear or a recirculating ball mechanism that takes the rotary motion from the steering column and puts it into the rest of the system, allowing the wheels to pivot together with minimal effort. This component is one of the most familiar cabin controls in the Saturn family. Early models of Ion were based on traditional hydraulic assist in which fluid pressure was applied to diminish the force required at the Steering Wheel, while later models were developed with electric power steering which uses computer-managed motors for a smoother feel and increased efficiency. Regardless of the type of assist, each Steering Wheel remains a durable piece in any of the Saturn sedans, but under heavy use, vibration, stiffness, or odd noises can serve as a warning of reduced control. Replacement costs low for parts, and owners with basic tools can swap a worn Steering Wheel themselves to restore confident handling in their Ion.
Each OEM Saturn Ion Steering Wheel we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Saturn Ion Steering Wheel Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove the steering wheel on Saturn ION?A:To remove the steering wheel, start by parking the vehicle with the wheels pointing straight ahead and disconnecting the battery. Disable the airbag system and then detach the airbag module by inserting a blunt round tool into the holes on each side of the steering wheel. Lift the airbag module away from the steering wheel and disconnect the electrical connectors. Remove the steering wheel nut and mark the relationship of the steering wheel to the shaft. Use a steering wheel puller to remove the steering wheel, disconnect any remaining electrical connectors, and lift the steering wheel off the shaft. If necessary, remove the clockspring by removing the steering column covers and unplugging the electrical connectors. Spread the retaining tabs and slide the clockspring assembly from the steering column. To install the clockspring, ensure it is centered with the arrows aligned on the clockspring face. If the shaft was turned, center the clockspring by turning the hub clockwise until it stops, then counterclockwise and half the number of turns recorded previously. Install the yellow locking tab or use tape to prevent the clockspring hub from moving. Installation is the reverse of removal, making sure the airbag clockspring is centered before installing the steering wheel, aligning the marks on the shaft and steering wheel hub, and tightening a new steering wheel nut to the correct torque specifications. Finally, install the airbag module and enable the airbag system.
