Here's a new one for yall...

[H_M_T_81]

I hate the steering wheels in the Marauders...yea, I said it. Are there any other steering wheels from say and Mariner, Mountaineer, ect that may work in a Marauder? I'd like to retain the ability to control the stereo and HVAC from the wheel as well.

[Mebot]

what don't you like about it? I've honestly thought the marauder steering wheel was much better compared to same-type kind of cars. if you're comparing it to a high end mercedes, porche or exotic, well then yeah

Actually ALL Air Bag wheels are ugly. There's only so much you can do design-wise with that great big lump of ugly in the middle... :shake:

I believe the new edge mustangs use the same shaft size. A member on CVN recently swapped his wheel for one out of an 03/04 cobra.

I actually love the MM steering wheel.

+1
Especially looking at the 05+ redesign the Crown Vic and Grand Marquis steering wheels got.

Epic!

I liked the Marauder wheel till about 80 thousand miles, now it is worn slick. I put a slip on wheel cover on it but even for my big paws it was too bulky, and I had a fear of it slipping around the wheel at the wrong time. I'd love to find a replacement wheel.

I just don't like the shape. It lacks any "sporty-ness" Will the Cobra wheel's buttons all hook up and work the same on the Marauder?

That's the one I have. In the wife's mountaineer :)
I spend too much time looking for cops and not enough on the appearance of the steering wheel I guess.
Buttons are all there, they work. My foot and gas peddle take care of the rest. I'm easy to please......

Not to long ago. Someone posted up pictures of their newly recovered MM steering wheel. If I recall, the owner had thicker material installed all around and those larger spots installed at the 9-3 or 10-2 wheel locations.

It looked pretty slick.

What year Mountaineer is this wheel from?

Nice work!

Link #2 is the one. That wheel looks damn good!

;)

[OleP71Dude]

It does look really good ! And I bet it feels good too (I know, I know - what she said...). I bet a lot of us could use a steering wheel refesh (except Doom ) - but the $500 gorilla in the room is - the $500+ dollah cost in this age of sequester. Dang economy !

[H_M_T_81]

Those aren't terrible but I really dislike the shape of the 2 spoke design I guess

Awesome find!!

I love that steering wheel!!

I so want it!!

[EbonyMarauder03]

I know how you feel about the 2 spoke thing. It's not Ford's worst, I'd say that title belongs to the late 90's Super Duty.

It would be nice if someone could make a Mustang 3 spoke that would fit our upper shaft and air bag contact ring or a redesigned from scratch wheel that would fit.

I could live without the radio and climate controls to get a nicer wheel.

[CBT]

So what's the status of seeing if a Mountaineer wheel will swap over?

[H_M_T_81]

Not enough info for me to go spend money on one to try it...
