Default Do you have the MS Wireless Wheel?

And do you hate how the steering column wobbles? Seem cheap to you?

If you do and want a fix, send me a message, I have a fix for you.

Every wheel I have seen has this problem. Some people find it unacceptable. The Steering Column has a bearing that is too big (plastic) and allows the steering wheel to feel loose and wobble, sometimes so bad that the gears skip inside and you end up with an off center wheel.

The cure is to install a Ball Bearing but that requires some machine work. I have been helping people get this done.

WOW, that is amazing. I have done 2 dozen upgrades for people because the wheel is so loose. I also bought 40 returned wheels and every single one has a loose steering column. I would love to see his. Is it really new? Perhaps MS finally fixed the problem.

It is a Microsoft brand, right?

Thats amazing if they fixed it. Simply amazing. The thing for me though is even though it "wobbles" as you said it doesnt affect my game play and Im lucky in that my wheel is centerd properly. I purchased my wheel on launch day.
